Format Angles (CAL Command)

The default units for angles are decimal degrees. Enter angles using the following format:

<degrees> d <minutes> ' <seconds>

You must enter 0d when entering an angle that is less than 1 degree (minutes and seconds only). You can omit the minutes or seconds if they are zero.

Enter a number followed by r to enter angles in radians. Enter a number followed by g to enter angles in grads.

The following examples show ways of entering angles:

5d10'20"

0d10'20"

124.6r

14g

Angles entered in any format are converted to decimal degrees.

Pi radians is equal to 180 degrees, and 100 grads is equal to 90 degrees.
