Change Units

You can quickly and easily change the units of measurement for sensors. For example, if you are currently measuring distance in meters (m), you can switch the readings to feet (ft) and vice versa.

Change your units of measure by choosing Change Units from the Experiment menu. You can also change units within the sensor or interface dialog.

Changing units will change values in columns, reset graph, gauge, and thermometer ranges, and change displayed units for calculated columns that depend on the sensor column that changed. You cannot change units during data collection, but when data collection is complete, you can change the data you just collected to the other unit.

Note: Changing units does not change the calibration of the sensor. Changing the calibration is more drastic and will not change existing values in columns. Rather, it will store runs (if there are data) and create new columns in the new units.
