==Description==

The '''Std UnitsCalculator''' command opens the Units converter. The Units converter can be used to convert values from one unit system to another.

{{Caption|The Units converter dialog box}}

==Usage==

# Select the {{MenuCommand|Tools → [[Image:Std_UnitsCalculator.svg|16px]] Units converter...}} option from the menu.
# The '''Units converter''' dialog box opens. For more information see [[#Options|Options]].
# The dialog box is modeless, meaning it can stay open while you continue working in LabRPS.
# Press the {{Button|Close}} button to close the dialog box.

==Options==

===Top row===

# Enter a value with units in the first input box. For example {{Value|10 mm}}.
#* Units with exponents should be entered using the {{Value|^}} notation. For example {{Value|1 m^2}}.
#* If the input value cannot be recognized or if the units are unknown the '''=>''' box will display the 'syntax error' message.
# Enter the target units in the '''as''' input box. For example {{Value|in}}.
#* If the units are unknown the '''=>''' box will display the 'unknown unit' message.
#* If the units in the first and second input box do not match, the '''=>''' box will display the 'unit mismatch' message. In the example the units match as 'mm' and 'in' are both length units.
# If there are no input errors the '''=>''' box will immediately show the result. For the example values the result is {{Value|0,394 in}}.
# Optionally press the {{Button|Copy}} button to copy the content of the '''=>''' box to the clipboard. The value can then for example be pasted in a LabRPS task panel or dialog box.

===Text area===

# The conversion performed in the top row can be copied to the text area by pressing {{KEY|Enter}} in the first or second input box.
# The text area can contain multiple conversions and its content can be selected and copied to the clipboard with {{KEY|Ctrl+C}} and used in other programs.

===Quantity===

# Select an option from the '''Unit system''' dropdown list. This will be the target unit system. Select '''Preference system''' to use the unit system defined in the [[Preferences_Editor#Units|Preferences]].
# Select an option from the '''Unit category''' dropdown list.
# Enter a value with units in the '''Quantity''' input box. The units must match the unit category.
# Click in the '''Decimals''' input box and press {{KEY|Enter}} to convert the value in the '''Quantity''' input box.

==Notes==

* See [[Expressions#Units|Expressions]] for a list of all known units.
