kitControl-NumericUnitConverter

This component converts a StatusNumeric value from a definable In Facets to a different definable Out Facets.

NumericUnitConverter is available in the Conversion folder of the kitControl palette.

This component is unique in that it does not change the data type (both input and output are StatusNumeric). It changes the actual numeric value. To produce a valid numeric output, both configured facets must conform to the same category (such as temperature, power, and so forth). Otherwise, the NumericUnitConverter reports a fault status.
