I'm pretty sure LabVIEW has two different atan commands in its Math/Trig library (which I believe is supported on the cRio). The first takes a float which should be your y/x value, and then spits out theta on the interval (+pi/2, -pi/2) relative to +X (note the inability to deal with infinite slope, one of the problems avoided by the other command). The other takes an x and a y separately, then does all the logic for you to return theta on the interval [0,2pi) from +X. To find the angle from +Y, you can subtract 90 (careful of wrapping, if it matters), or feed y in for x and -x in for y (the second one is waaaaay better).

Edit: Theta is counter-clockwise from reference point, of course. All x and y inputs are on [-1, 1] as one would expect on a unit circle.

Edit: And now I see that you asked for clockwise from +Y. Simply flip your inputs around the y-axis: give it y for x and +x for y.
