When using trigonometric functions in an Integrator Calc object, x is an angle in radians and y is the unitless ratio of the sides of a triangle. The conversion from degrees to radians is:
d *(pi/180) where d is degrees and pi can be approximated as 3.1416
Portions of a degree should be expressed in degree decimal format.
cos
Returns the standard trigonometric cosine of x.
cos(x : numeric) : numeric
For example:
cos(2.5) returns 0.801143
cos(4) returns 0.653643
sin
Returns the standard trigonometric sine of x.
sin(x : numeric) : numeric
For example:
sin(0) returns 0
sin(3.2) returns -0.058374
tan
Returns the standard trigonometric tangent of x.
tan(x : numeric) : numeric
For example:
tan(.5) returns 0.546302
arccos
Returns the standard trigonometric arccosine of x.
