Owning Palette: Elementary & Special Functions and VIs

Use this class of elementary functions to compute trigonometric functions and their inverses.

The VIs on this palette can return mathematics error codes.

Palette Object	Description
Cosecant	Computes the cosecant of x, where x is in radians. Cosecant is the reciprocal of sine.
Cosine	Computes the cosine of x, where x is in radians.
Cotangent	Computes the cotangent of x, where x is in radians. Cotangent is the reciprocal of tangent.
Inverse Cosecant	Computes the inverse cosecant of x.
Inverse Cosine	Computes the arccosine of x.
Inverse Cotangent	Computes the inverse cotangent of x.
Inverse Secant	Computes the inverse secant of x.
Inverse Sine	Computes the arcsine of x.
Inverse Tangent (2 Input)	Computes the arctangent of y/x.
Inverse Tangent	Computes the arctangent of x.
Secant	Computes the secant of x, where x is in radians. Secant is the reciprocal of cosine.
Sinc	Computes the sine of x divided by x, where x is in radians.
Sine & Cosine	Computes both the sine and cosine of x, where x is in radians. Use this function only when you need both results.
Sine	Computes the sine of x, where x is in radians.
Tangent	Computes the tangent of x, where x is in radians.
