The application performs all three steps in the conversion process: application of the relevant conversion factor, selection of significant digits, and rounding of the result. Conversion factors designated as "exact" are definitions, or they have been set by agreements that define the factor value precisely. All other conversion factors, designated as "derived," result from truncation of decimal places and/or calculation by a combination of other factors. The unit converter will run on any MacOS or Windows platform that has MATLAB R2018A or R2018B installed.
Features
+Performs all three steps in the conversion process: application of the relevant conversion factor, selection of significant digits, and rounding of the result.
+Converts values from one unit of measure to another using standard conversion factors. It performs conversions from and to the inch-pound system units used in the USA and also the International System of Units (SI).
