The Expert Configurator Conversion Type category contains information used by the ECFRAC program to perform unit of measure conversion.  The conversion information allows alphanumeric measurements (such as 2 ft 8 in) to be converted to numeric equivalents (such as 32 for inches or 80 for centimeters).

CONVERSION TYPE

Required.  This two-character field identifies information used for a specific unit of measure conversion passed as a parameter to the ECFRAC program.  The conversion type can be blank.

This screen allows you to define conversion information for the conversion type entered on the Function Select screen.  One of the following conditions must be met for a valid conversion type definition:

Unit of Measure (1), Unit of Measure (2), and Convert-To-Unit of Measure are all blanks.

Unit of Measure (1) and Convert-To-Unit of Measure are not blanks.

Unit of Measure (1), Unit of Measure (2), and Convert-To-Unit of Measure are all not blanks.

UNIT OF MEASURE (1)

Optional.  This is the unit of measure for the first value of an alphanumeric measurement to be converted.  The characters you enter here match the unit of measure characters of the alphanumeric measurement and can be an alphabetic abbreviation (such as ft, in, yd) or a symbol (such as ' or ").

UNIT OF MEASURE (2)

Optional.  This is the unit of measure for the second value of an alphanumeric measurement to be converted.  The characters you enter here match the unit of measure characters of the alphanumeric measurement and can be an alphabetic abbreviation (such as ft, in, yd) or a symbol (such as ' or ").

CONVERT-TO-UNIT OF MEASURE

Optional.  This is the unit of measure to which the alphanumeric measurement will be converted.  The unit of measure can be an alphabetic abbreviation (such as ft, in, yd) or a symbol (such as ' or ").  This unit of measure can be different from Unit of Measure (1) and Unit of Measure (2).

CONVERSION NUMERATOR (1)

Required.  This is the numerator of a fraction that is used to convert the first value in an alphanumeric measurement (string) to its decimal (or numeric) equivalent in the Convert-To-Unit of Measure.

CONVERSION DENOMINATOR (1)

Required.  This is the denominator of a fraction that is used to convert the first value in an alphanumeric measurement (string) to its decimal (or numeric) equivalent in the Convert-To-Unit of Measure.

CONVERSION NUMERATOR (2)

Required.  This is the numerator of a fraction that is used to convert the second value in an alphanumeric measurement (string) to its decimal (or numeric) equivalent in the Convert-To-Unit of Measure.

CONVERSION DENOMINATOR (2)

Required.  This is the denominator of a fraction that is used to convert the second value in an alphanumeric measurement (string) to its decimal (or numeric) equivalent in the Convert-To-Unit of Measure.
