acos function not working

I have a laser measuring distance. I am trying to use the law of cosines to determine an angle. When I put ACOS in front of my expression it reads 0. However if I use COS in front, it displays the correct value.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi,


we have checked the formula but as it looks the acos function works normally. Would it be possible to get the screenshot of your formula or maybe the setup file which are you using.


Best regards,

Hi,


it is strange that this function wouldn't work. Could you maybe share with us a setup file or a short data file so that we can check what could be the reason for this calculation.

Do you see the same issue also if you create this kind formula?

acos('Angle')
