FUNCTION ASIN : ANY_REAL
  VAR_INPUT
    IN : ANY_REAL;
  END_VAR
END_FUNCTION

The return type matches the input type. ASIN accepts REAL, LREAL.

Inputs

Name	Type	Description
`IN`	`ANY_REAL`	Value in the range [-1.0, 1.0].

Outputs

Name	Type	Description
Return value	`ANY_REAL`	The arc sine of IN in radians, in the range [-pi/2, pi/2]. Same type as IN.

Returns the arc sine of IN in radians. The input must be in the range [-1.0, 1.0]. The result is in the range [-pi/2, pi/2].
