Inverse Tangent Function

Owning Palette: Trigonometric Functions

Requires: Base Development System

Computes the arctangent of x.

The connector pane displays the default data types for this polymorphic function.

Example

 Add to the block diagram  Find on the palette
x can be a scalar number, array or cluster of numbers, array of clusters of numbers, and so on.
arctan(x) is of the same numeric representation as x. When x is of the form x = a + bi, that is, when x is complex, the following equation defines arctan(x):

arctan(x) ranges from -pi/2 to pi/2.

Example

Refer to the Sine VI in the labview\examples\Mathematics\Elementary & Special Functions\Trigonometric Functions directory for an example of using the Inverse Tangent function.
