Use

From the screens for displaying and editing value assignment types, you can convert characteristic values with a unit of measurement to other units of measurement within the same dimension using this function. If you convert frequently to the same units of measurement (for example, from °C to °F), you can define a unit of measurement profile and specify it in your user settings. The system then uses the units of measurement in this profile automatically in the dialog box for converting units of measurement.

Note

The calculated values are for information purposes only and are not entered as characteristic values.
