Getting degrees of arc from LabView

[Joe blow]

I have an application in which I need to obtain the tilt angle of a sensor package based on X axis and Z axis accelerometer data. How do I convert the tangent of X/Z to degrees? This would normally be the arctangent of X/Z but the ATAN trigonometric function in LabView does not do this. Anyone out there have an example in LabView version 8.2?

Multiply the result by 180 over pi

Thanks. I don't know why they couldn't have provided this as a separate output from the VI.  I haven't worked with Trigonometry for a long time, otherwise I might have figured it out myself.

It is just like Excel in that regard.  All the trig functions are based on angles computed in radians.
