Is the input in Hertz or rads/second?

I'm using two Sine Waveform VIs (i.e. a sine and a cosine wave) to combine together to form exp(i*w*t) and I am wondering whether the frequency input into the VI is in Hertz or radians/second. On the LabVIEW help it says the units of frequency in the input to each of the Sine Waveform VIs is in Hertz, but I wanted to know whether it would still be the case when I combine two Sine Waveforms and then use the Re/Im to Complex function. I've attached a pic for clarity.
 
Thanks.

Hi imperial-aero,

The output units of the real-imaginary to complex function is the same as the input units, so if you input Hertz (from the sine vi) then the output of the complex function will be Hertz.
