Function: Cot
Calculates the cotangent of a number.
ReturnV alue = Cot(Value)
Input Parameters
| Value | Specifies a numeric value, a variable, or a data channel that contains the angles in radians. |
Return Parameters
| ReturnValue | Returns numeric values. |
Examples
The following example calculates the cotangent of the values in the Group1/Input data channel and saves the result in the Group2/Result data channel.
| VBScript | Python |
Call Calculate ("Ch(""Group2/Result"")= Cot(Ch(""Group1/Input""))")
 | Note You must use the Calculate command in scripts to calculate data channels with formulas. Compute the data channels according to the syntax in the Calculator. Refer to the procedures Executing Channel Calculations in the Calculator and Assigning a Value to a Variable in the Calculator for more information about the Calculator. |
 | The input quantity must have the physical quantity Plane angle. The physical result quantity is dimensionless. The Input and Result Quantities for Quantity-Based Calculations page contains an overview of the input quantities and result quantities of all functions. Refer to the Help page Calculating Quantity-Based and Non-Quantity-Based in DIAdem for the conditions and rules for quantity-based calculations. |
