Unit Scaling in Common Formats |
The scaling functions are useful in converting data given in industry-standard formats into values with units, and to scale the display of outputs in the unit placeholder.
°F(x) and °C(x) Return the Kelvin temperature specified by the Fahrenheit or Celsius value x. When used in the units placeholder, the inverse function /°F(x) or /°C(x) is applied to a real temperature in degrees Kelvin, scaling the value to Fahrenheit or Celsius, respectively.
FIF(sFIF) Returns the length specified by the feet-inches-fractions (FIF) representation in the argument. When used in the units placeholder, the inverse function /FIF(x) is applied to a real length and displays the value as a string in FIF format.
hhmmss(shms) Returns the time specified by the hours-minutes-seconds (hhmmss) representation in the argument. When used in the units placeholder, the inverse function /hhmmss(x) is applied to a real time and displays the value as a string in hh:mm:ss.sss format.
DMS(v) Returns the angle, in radians, specified by the degrees-minutes-seconds (DMS) representation in the argument. When used in the units placeholder, the inverse function /DMS(x) is applied to a real angle, and displays the value as a vector in DMS format.
