Managing variables – MTS TW Elite User Manual

Recommended
The application always performs calculations in base (system) units. To avoid unit-conversion errors when
adding a calculation to a variable, create variables to hold constants used in the calculation. Assign the
desired units to each variable and the application will convert the unit type to the base unit type when
performing the calculation. For more information, see the MTS TW Elite User Guide.
