2.9 Standard Functions
The following examples, using preset functions available on the
Math Pad, are included for easier reference.
2.9.1 Trigonometric Functions
Three trigonometric functions, Sin(x), Cos(x) and Tan(x) return
the Sine, Cosine and tangent of the variable x.
Note. The variable x must be specified in Radians, where
1° = π/180 Radians.
For example, to find the Sine of 90°, first convert degrees to
radians:
90° = (90 x π) / 180 = π/2
The equation is entered as Sin(1.571)
2.9.2 Statistical Functions – Table 2.5 and Fig. 2.5
Statistical functions can be used to calculate the average, rolling
average and standard deviation of an analog variable.

2.9.3 Logarithmic Functions

curve and this must be linearized, therefore the antilog of the
input must be derived:
Linear Vacuum = k.10(Vacuum Gauge Output)
2.9.4 Relative Humidity – Fig. 2.6
Relative humidity is calculated using the following formula:
VPSw AP
×
------------------------------------------------------------ -
RH
=
100
Where:
VPSw = Saturation Vapour Pressure at Wet Bulb
VPSd = Saturation Vapour Pressure at Dry Bulb
Td = Dry Bulb Temperature
Tc = Wet Bulb Temperature
P = Total Atmospheric Pressure (1000 mbar)
–
A = Psychometric Constant (6.66 x 10–4)
–
RH = % of Relative Humidity
–
A relative humidity calculation requires two inputs, one from a
–
wet bulb sensor and one from a dry bulb sensor. Both of these
inputs are incorporated into the equation as analog.
RH tables are based on the use of an aspirated psychrometer
having an air velocity of at least 11.5 feet per second or 3.5
meters per second across the bulb sensors.
Inputs used for wet and dry bulb measurement must be in the
ranges 0 to 100°C or 32 to 212°F. The result must be set to 0 to
100.0% RH.
