Unit Type reference

Lists the units of measurement for user parameters.

Access:

After adding a new User Parameter in the Parameters dialog box, click the Units box to display the Unit Type.

Units List

Lists groups of predefined units of measurement that you can use for a parameter. To select a unit, expand a group and click the preferred unit. The selected unit is displayed in the Unit Specification box.

Unit Specification

Enables building compound unit specifications. As you choose a unit from the Unit Type list, the unit is added to the Units specification box. To build a compound unit specification, such as in/sec, separate the individual units with the appropriate sign of operation, such as multiplication, division, or exponentiation.

You can also enter the units directly into the Unit Specification box, without selecting from the Unit Type list.

Click OK to assign the displayed unit of measurement to the parameter.
