Command Reference
8.9.3 Tangent (TAN)
(1) Overview
The TAN command uses the specified variable or constant (unit = degrees) as input and returns the tangent in a
real number register.
(2) Format
* Example: Calculates the tangent of the input value ( θ = 45.0°): TAN (θ) = 1.0
The TAN command can use only real number data. If bits, integers, or double integers are specified, an error
will result at compilation.
(3) Programming Examples
TAN command programming examples are shown below.
