Add engineering unit templates, units, and conversions

An engineering unit is a part of a tag. Use engineering unit templates to simplify the conversion between base units and their conversions (such as inches to centimeters), and to provide consistency in recording data in reports and on-screen viewing. For example, in one project you might want to see amperes reported as kiloamps. In another, you might want to see amperes as milliamps. You will use the Units screens to determine the conversion for standard units and custom units (tied to custom tags) that you create.

You can also create templates to organize user-created unit/conversion pairs. Each template will include all of the predefined engineering units and conversions, and the ones you assign to it. These templates can then be used in system projects (see the Set Up Project tab for creating projects).
