PRINCIPLE
The
[UNIT]
function key makes available a choice of six default pressure units (US or SI units
depending on whether the PPCH has been factory set as US or SI) (see Section 3.3.2).
PPCH also supports many commonly used units other than those included in the default set up.
These units can be made available for active selection by customizing the UNIT function
using
