Description

The DMS command sets flags –17 and –18, and displays the ∡d annunciator.

In DMS angle mode, real number arguments that represent angles are interpreted as degrees / minutes / seconds, and real number results that represent angles are expressed in degrees / minutes / seconds.

An angle in DMS format is written as a real number in the format DD.MMSSxxx… where:

DD expresses the number of degrees;
MM expresses the number of minutes of arc and ranges from 00 to 59;
SS expresses the number of seconds of arc and ranges from 00 to 59;
xxx… expresses the remaining fraction of seconds of arc.

Compatibility

DMS is specific to newRPL and has no direct equivalent in userRPL.
