Alphabetical List of Functions
The following functions are available in the Variable Table. They are referred to as math and trig functions.
| ABS | Returns the absolute value of a number. |
| ACOS | Returns the angle whose cosine is the given number. |
| ASIN | Returns the angle whose sine is the given number. |
| ATN | Returns the angle whose tangent is the given number. |
| COS | Returns the cosine of a number. |
| DEGREES | Returns the degree value of an angle given in radians |
| EXP | Returns e raised to the power of a given number. |
| FIX | Returns the integer portion of a number. |
| IF | Evaluates a mathematical statement and returns the boolean value of its condition. |
| INT | Rounds a number down to the nearest integer. |
| LOG | Returns the natural logarithm of a number. |
| PI | Returns the integer value of the number Pi, to 15 decimal places. |
| RADIANS | Returns the radians value of an angle expressed in degrees. |
| RND | Returns a random number. |
| SGN | Returns an integer indicating the sign of a number. |
| SIN | Returns the sine of the given angle. |
| SQR | Returns the square root of (number * PI). |
| TAN | Returns the tangent of an angle. |
The following functions are also available in the Variable Table.
| User, Visual Basic | Relates variables through a user function, usually defined with Visual Basic. |
The trig functions available in the variable table always assume input value for the function is in radians and returns the results in radians, not in degrees. An example function might be sin(x)=y, where x and y are always in radians.
