Operands

OperandDescription
SThe first operand.
Entries are REAL data registers or constants.
This is the value to calculate the tangent value of.

The value range is -1.7014118e+38 ~ 3.4028237e+38 (2-127 ~ 2128).
DThe second operand.
Entries are only REAL data registers.
The tangent is saved as a REAL data register in radians.

Notice

Error Flag (F11.0) Notice

The error flag, F11.0, will be ON for one scan when the address of the data register assigned by @D exceeds the range of the data register, D. The range of the data register, D, is dependent on the CPU type.

F11.0 turns ON when the value of the data for the calculation exceeds the data register assigned to S or D.
When the value assigned to S exceeds its range, the value, Quite Not-a-Number (-1.#QNAN0), is stored in the data register D.

Instruction Result
  • The value resulting from the TAN or TANP instruction is saved as a radian.
    • The conversion for radians is:
      • Radians = Degrees × ( π180 )
  • Radian data is rounded from the sixth decimal point.
    • If the value of S is equal to 0.5π or 1.5π, the instructions operate without error.
