Trigonometry

This function block allows you to perform basic trigonometric operations on angles or ratios using degrees. The available operations include sine, arcsine, tangent, and arctangent.

📥 Inputs

Number This input accepts a numeric value, which could be an angle for the sine and tangent operations or a ratio for the arcsine and arctangent operations.

📤 Outputs

Number This output provides the result of the selected trigonometric operation.

🕹️ Controls

Choose Angle Method A dropdown menu that allows you to select the desired trigonometric operation from options such as Sin, Asin, Tan, and Atan.

🎨 Features

Multiple Trigonometric Operations The block supports various trigonometric functions, providing flexibility based on user needs.

Real-time Calculations Selected operations are computed in real-time based on input values, allowing for immediate feedback.

📝 Usage Instructions

  1. Input Value: Connect a numeric input to the block representing either an angle (in degrees) or a ratio.

  2. Select Method: Choose the desired trigonometric operation from the Choose Angle Method dropdown.

  3. Evaluate: Run the block to perform the selected trigonometric calculation. The output will show the result.

📊 Evaluation

When executed, this function block will calculate and output the result of the selected trigonometric operation based on the provided input.

💡 Tips and Tricks

Using Arcsin and Arctan

Remember that Asin and Atan functions expect inputs within specific ranges: Asin requires values between -1 and 1, while Atan can accept all real numbers.

Angle Measurements

Ensure that angles are provided in degrees, as this block automatically converts degrees to radians for calculations.

Chain Calculations

You can chain this function block with other mathematical operations like Add, Subtract, etc., to perform more complex calculations using the output of trigonometric functions.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Invalid Input Error

If you see errors indicating invalid input, ensure that the input value is a number. For arcsine calculations, input values must be between -1 and 1.

No Output

If no output appears, check that you have selected a valid operation and have connected the input properly.
