I'm not sure if this was answered already but...

If the number of periods is a fixed constant, you can use the following formula:

Sin(Cum(360/{x}))

For example, if you wanted to plot a sine wave that cycled every 10 periods, use:

Sin(Cum(360/10))

If you want to set the number of periods in the cycle each time you plot it, use the following formula:​

​

​

Cycle Formula

periods:=input("Enter number of periods:", 2, 360, 50);
Sin(Cum(360/periods));​
