Customize standard units of measure

The session locale determines the measurement system for the displayed data. For example, a session with the en-US locale displays temperatures in Fahrenheit degrees.
Customize measurement units at the project level to use different measurement systems for each desired quantity. For example, import data from a sensor configured in a custom degrees format but display the value in Celsius at runtime. To customize units of measure, map the measurements in the
Measurement systems map
.
  1. In
    Project view
    , select the project root node.
  2. In
    Properties
    , after
    Measurement systems map
    , select

    Edit with Measurement system editor
    .
  3. In the title bar of the
    MeasurementSystemMap
     that opens in the center of the screen, select 
    Add
     . A new row appears in the map table.
  4. In the
    From
     column, select the input quantity of interest or the value from the sensor. The selected units of measure will be translated to the equivalent quantity for the different locales in the three remaining columns.
  5. In the

    ,
    US Customary Measurement System
