Tan Function Example
The example uses Tan to calculate the tangent of an angle from a Volt(1) input.
Dim Degrees, Pi, Radians, Ans 'Declare variables.
Pi = 4 * Atn(1) 'Calculate Pi.
Degrees = Volt(1) 'Get user input.
Radians = Degrees * (Pi / 180) 'Convert to radians.
Ans = Tan(Radians) ‘The Tangent of Degrees.
TANH (Source)
The TANH function returns the hyperbolic tangent of an expression or value.
Syntax
x = TANH (Source)
Remarks
The TANH function returns the hyperbolic tangent [ tanh(x) = sinh(x)/cosh(h) ]
for the value defined in Source.
TANH Function Example
The example uses TANH to calculate the hyperbolic tangent of a voltage input.
Public Volt1, Ans 'Declare variables.
VoltDiff(Volt1,1,mV5000,1,True,100,500,1,0)
'Returns voltage on Channel(1) to Volt(1)
Ans = TANH( Volt1 ) 'The Hyperbolic Tangent of Volt1.
TimeIntoInterval (TintoInt, Interval, Units)
The TimeIntoInterval (or IfTime) instruction is used to return a logic level of
True or False based on the datalogger's real-time clock.
Syntax
Variable = TimeIntoInterval( TintoInt, Interval, Units )
or
If TimeIntoInterval ( TintoInt, Interval, Units )
Remarks
When encountered by the datalogger program, the TimeIntoInterval statement
is evaluated True (-1) or False (0) based on the datalogger's real-time clock.
Time is kept internally by the datalogger as the elapsed time since January 1,
1990, at 00:00:00 hours. When the Interval divides evenly into this elapsed
time, the TimeIntoInterval is set True. The TimeIntoInterval instruction can be
used to set the value of a variable to -1 or 0 (first syntax example), or it can be
used as an expression for a Condition (second syntax example).
