QSIN

Action

Returns the sine of an integer

 

 

Syntax

var = QSIN( source )

 

 

Remarks

Var	A numeric integer variable that is assigned with sinus of variable source.
source	The integer variable to get the sinus of.

 

Integer SIN and COS use a lookup table to determine the Sinus or Co sinus. Qsin and Qcos are used by some of the FT800 routines.

 

 

The sinus of angle α is shown above. At 0 degrees the value on the y-ax is 0 and at 90 degrees, the value is at its maximum on the Y-ax. In the first quadrant of the circle (1) sinus will have a positive number as a result. In quadrant 2 of the circle, the sinus goes from the maximum value down to 0 and the result is a positive number as well.

In quadrant 3 and 4 of the circle, we will get a negative number as a result since the result is below the x-ax.

The QSIN works with integers which have a range from -32768 to 32767. This means that for the quadrant 1 and 2 we can use a value between 0 and 32767. In degrees we would use a value between 0 and 180. This means that each degree has a value of 182 (32767/180).

The negative values are reserved for quadrant 3 and 4.

Instead of integers you can also use a word variable.

The following simple sample will show the input and output values.

 

Dim Iii As Integer , I2 As Integer , W As Word

For W= 0 To 65535 Step 182

Iii = W          ' for usage as an integer

I2 = Qsin(iii)  ' get the value of W/III

Print W; "  " ; Iii ; "  " ; I2

Next

 

This will give the output :
