Custom Units Tab
If the comprehensive list of built in units and automatic conversion does not contain the engineering units you
need then this tab allows you to create your own.
You can create up to four units with a gain factor for each to allow conversion between them.
See the Engineering Units section for a list of supported unit categories and units. You will notice the four custom
units at the end of the table. These are selectable as either calibrated or available display units and the conversion
factors used and the description shown will come from the data entered here.
