Top

Description

Computes the four-quadrant inverse tangent of (y/x) and returns values in the closed interval [-pi,pi].

Timing Precision Mode

This page describes functionality in millisecond timing precision mode. Millisecond timing precision mode is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. We recommend that you migrate your Mission Plans to nanosecond timing precision mode.
