Units

When using variables with a unit parameter, use the units short name to specify which unit to return the value in.

For example, the following variables will work correctly:

[ADJ.VALUE(gal)]
[ADJ.VALUE(lt)]
[ADJ.VALUE(ml)]
[ADJ.ACCUM(gal)]
[ADJ.ACCUM(lt)]
[ADJ.ACCUM(ml)]

The following examples will NOT work:

[ADJ.VALUE(gallons)] :: using unit long name, not short name
[ADJ.VALUE (lt) ] :: space before “(”
[ADJ.VALUE ml] :: missing parentheses around unit short name

Use the tables below to help identify a unit’s short name.  NOTE: You cannot convert units between tables.
