  - Funtions A
    - abortFileTransfer()
      The function abortFileTransfer() aborts all file transfers of the stated manager.
    - abs()
      Returns the absolute value of a value.
    - access()
      Queries the access mode of the file or directory with the specified path name.
    - acGetRefACType()
      Returns a AC type name, if the leaf dpeName is referenced to an AC type, otherwise an empty string.
    - acos()
      Returns the arc cosine in the radian measure.
    - activateMode()
      Switches the module to normal operating mode.
    - addGlobal()
      Creates a variable and makes it into a control-wide variable.
    - addGroup()
      Adds a group of shapes or a layout to a panel.
    - addGroupPVSS()
      Adds a user group of an external authentication system to the WinCC OA user administration.
    - addShape()
      Adds a new shape into a panel.
    - addSymbol()
      Adds a panel reference in a panel or layout at a later time during run time. To suppress the Initialize scripts of the reference the function createSymbol() can be used instead.
    - addUserPVSS()
      Adds a user of an external authentication system to the WinCC OA user administration.
    - addUserToGroupPVSS()
      Adds a WinCC OA user to a user group in the WinCC OA user administration.
    - aes256Decrypt()
      The function allows to decrypt an encrypted information with the AES-256 algorithm.
    - aes256Encrypt()
      The function allows to encrypt the passed information with the AES-256 algorithm.
    - afterLogin()
      After successful login displays the required panel.
    - alertConnect()
      Registers the function work() for call with resulting alerts.
    - alertDisconnect()
      Unregisters the function work() from call when changes are made to the values.
    - alertGet()
      Queries only the last alert attributes of a data point.
    - alertGetPeriod()
      Reads the values of the specified alert attributes of the data point elements for which alerts were triggered.
    - alertSet()
      Allows data point attributes to be set in a similar way to dpSet().
    - alertSetTimed()
      Allows data point attributes to be set in a similar way to dpSet(). Additionally the timestamp can be set manually.
    - alertSetTimedWait()
      Allows data point attributes to be set in a similar way to dpSet(). Additionally the timestamp can be set manually.
    - alertSetWait()
      Allows data point attributes to be set in a similar way to alertSet()/dpSetWait().
    - animate()
      With the function animate() you can create animations.
    - animateWait()
      With the function animateWait() you can create animations and wait for them to finish.
    - asin()
      Returns the arc sine in the radian measure.
    - assignPtr()
      The function allows to assign a shared_ptr to a different shared_ptr..
    - atan()
      Returns the arc tangent in the radian measure.
    - atan2()
      Returns the arc tangent of the Cartesian coordinates y and x.

atan()

Returns the arc tangent in the radian measure.

Synopsis

float atan(float x);

Parameters


Parameter	Description
x	angle

Return Value

Arc tangent in radian measure.

Description

Returns the arc tangent between -Pi/2 and Pi/2 in the radian measure. In the event of an error, 0.0 is returned.

Example

main()
{
  float pi = 3.1415926, val, res;
  val = 2.0;
  res = atan(param) * 180 / pi;
  DebugN("The atan for a value of " + val + " is " + res);
  //["The atan for a value of 2 is 63.434949905006"]
}
