5.8.4 Mathematical Functions
ABS
PURPOSE
: Returns the absolute value of the argument.
FORMAT
:
ABS
(argument)
Numeric expression
The parenthesis enclosing the argument can be omitted when the argument is a
numeric value or variable.
EXAMPLE
: ABS (-1.1)
PARAMETERS
: argument : numeric expression
SEE
: SGN
ACS
PURPOSE
: Returns the angle value for which cosine (angle value) = argument.
FORMAT
:
ACS
(argument)
Numeric expression
The parenthesis enclosing the argument can be omitted when the argument is a
numeric value or variable.
EXAMPLE
: ACS (0.1)
PARAMETERS
: argument must be within the [-1 , +1] range
EXPLANATION
:
1. The unit of the returned value is specified using the ANGLE function.
2. The returned value is in the [0, 180°] or [0 ,
π
Radians ] range.
SEE
: ANGLE, COS
ANGLE
PURPOSE
: Specifies the angle unit.
FORMAT
:
ANGLE
angle specification
Numeric expression
EXAMPLE
: ANGLE 0
PARAMETERS
: angle specification: Numeric expression truncated to an integer in
the range of 0
≤
angle specification

3
EXPLANATION
:
1. The angle units for the trigonometric functions can be specified using the
values 0,1 and 2.
0: DEG (Degrees)
1: RAD (Radians)
2: GRAD (Grads)
2. The relationships between the angle units are as follows:
90° =
π
/2 Radians = 100 Grads
3. ANGLE 0 is set whenever ALL RESET is executed.
4. The angle unit can also be specified using the MODE command.
