In the Workbench program running on your PC, you may globally set unit conversion to automatically display “Out” values in English units (where the default is no conversion for display). Do this from the menu selection Tools->Options->General, as shown in Figure 3.

With Workbench unit conversion set to English, out values (for example, visible in a Lon device’s Nv Manager view, or within LonData in a device’s LonComponents) automatically display with the expected English units and corresponding numeric values. For related topics, see About the Nv Manager and Using LonData directly.

This setting is local to your Workbench display usage only! If providing other users browser access to LonData (or any data using SI units), and need the same automatic display conversion, you must specify English unit conversion in each of those station User accounts (Facets, Unit Conversion). For more details, see the “User Manager” section in the User Guide.In addition, this does not take the place of adjusting Facets in Lon proxy points. See the next section Facet conversion in Lon proxy points for more details.
