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
