Units of Measure

With the function Units of measure, the identification code for units used system-wide is managed (e.g. mm, pcs., kg, etc.). Any Agile e6 mask containing the field Unit has a drop-down menu to select a unit.

The general Units of Measure are the actual values like meter, centimeter etc. Whereas, the base units of measure are the categories used for grouping the actual units of measure (e.g. Length, Pieces etc.).
