Product Notes
Engineering Units
Engineering units are used to convert one measurement reading to another. The
MadgeTech software allows for software level Engineering Units (conversion applied to
data after download). Certain devices have device level Engineering Units, which upon
download automatically appear in the chosen unit of measure.
Please refer to the app note “Engineering Units”, found on the MadgeTech website, for
information on how to manage Engineering Units. Also view the Engineering Units Video
for step-by-step setup instructions.
