DATA_UNITS

This command lets you change the units that data will be displayed in.

Widget:

Select a field to be plotted (see help on FIELD). Using the right mouse button, click on the field button in the main widget. A pop-up widget will appear that displays the current variable units. To change the units, move to the Display Units type-in box and enter the desired units. Use the left mouse button to click on the OK button to make the new units current, or click on CANCEL to revert to the original units.

Command:

DATA_UNITS = units

Arguments :

units: the desired data display units

Examples :

DATA_UNITS=ft/s
This changes the data display units to feet/seconds
suppose that a variable UWIND has current display units of "m/s", but you want UWIND displayed in feet/second. Type "ft/s" in the Display Units type-in box, then click on OK. The variable UWIND will subsequently be displayed in the units ft/s.

Notes :

This option remains in effect until changed.
To use this feature, the variable whose units will be changed must already have units assigned to it via an attribute entitled "display_units".
Old units must be convertible into new units, or an error will result.
This feature utilizes the Unidata units utility UDUNITS, which must be available on the system. For help on this utility, see the man page or the system administrator.
