Selecting a Unit-of-Measurement

Units of Measure for Calibration Management Measurements

Selecting a specific measurement unit is accomplished when identifying which measurements are required during calibration task.

From within the 'Equipment Edit' dialog, select the 'Standards' link-button at the bottom-left corner.

If no standard measurements were previously defined, you will see the following blank 'Edit Standards' dialog.

In the 'Name' field, enter something like '10 centimeters'. The result is that the value '10' appears in the 'Value' field (editable) and the suffix of 'centimeters' is retained as your measurement unit. Click the [Add] button and a new standard measurement is added to the table within the 'Edit Standards' dialog.

Note that you can enter any unit of measure, fictional or real. In the following sample, the example units of measure are centimeters, psi, inches, and even bluebirds.
