DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
The PI(pi constant) command gets the mathematical value of pi (3.141592).
The trigonometric functions SIN, COS and TAN require degrees as input. The functions ASIN,
ACOS and ATAN return values in units of degrees. Therefore, this constant is useful, especially
in cases where you need to convert radians to degrees.
EXAMPLE:
af[7]=ATAN(af[6])*180/PI 'Set af[7] to arctan result converted to radians
