Setting a base currency and exchange rates

Before you can carry out currency conversions, you need to choose a base
currency (usually your domestic currency) and add exchange rates.

The rate of the base currency is always 1. The base currency determines the
conversion rates of the other currencies.

1. Select

Currency

as the measurement parameter type and select

Options

Currency rates

. A list of currencies opens and you can see the

current base currency at the top.

2. To change the base currency, scroll to the currency (usually your domestic

currency), and select

Set as base curr.

.

3. Add exchange rates, scroll to the currency, and enter a new rate, that is, how

many units of the currency equal one unit of the base currency you have
selected.

4. After you have inserted all the required exchange rates, you can make currency

conversions.

See “Converting units” on page 158.
