UnitConvert

this script allow conversion between various engineering units.

Description

list=UNITCONVERT give a list of available categories (useful to populate a popupmenu for example)

units=UNITCONVERT('category') give a list of available units for one category

category=UNITCONVERT('unit') give the category name for that unit

DataOut=UNITCONVERT(DataIn,'UnitIn') convert DataIn(matrix) to Standard Unit:
                    acceleration:meter/sec²
                    angle:degree
                    area:meter²
                    computer:bit
                    concentration:mole/liter
                    Density:kilogram/meter³
                    Distance:meter
                    Energy:joule
                    Flow:liter/minute
                    Force:newton
                    Light:lux
                    Mass:kilogram
                    Power:watt
                    Pressure:pascal
                    Rotation:revolution/second
                    Speed:meter/second
                    Time:second
                    Torque:newton meter
                    Volume:cubic meter
                    Volume - Dry:liter
                    Without Dimension:[]

DataOut=UNITCONVERT(DataIn,'UnitIn','UnitOut') convert DataIn(matrix) from UnitIn to UnitOut

Exemple:
   UnitConvert(500,'meter','kilometer')
   ans =
   0.5000
