Type System command
Syntax TABLEVALUES(address, number_of_points, format)
Description Returns a list of TABLE points starting at the number specified. There is only
one format supported at the moment, and that is comma delimited text.
Note: TABLEVALUES is provided mainly for Trajexia Studio to allow for fast
access to banks of TABLE values.
Arguments • address
Number of the first point to be returned
• number_of_points
Total number of points to be returned
• format
Format for the list (0 = comma delimited text)
Example No example.

Type Mathematical function
Syntax TAN(expression)
Description The TAN function returns the tangent of the expression. The expression is
assumed to be in radians.
Arguments • expression
Any valid BASIC expression.
Example >> print TAN(PI/4)
1.0000

Type Axis parameter
Syntax TANG_DIRECTION
Description When used with a 2 axis X-Y system, this parameter returns the
angle in radians that represents the vector direction of the
interpolated axes. The value returned is between –PI and +PI and
is determined by the directions of the interpolated axes as follows:
XY Value
01 0
1 0 PI/2
0 -1 PI (+PI or –PI)
-1 0 -PI/2
Arguments N/A
Example ‘ Note scale_factor_x MUST be the same as scale_factor_y
UNITS AXIS(4)=scale_factor_x
UNITS AXIS(5)=scale_factor_y
BASE(4,5)
MOVE(100,50)
angle = TANG_DIRECTION
