Change Units

When you are working with data sheets in standard folios, degradation folios and non-parametric LDA folios, you will enter time values in terms of specific time units, as defined at the database level. These units are displayed in the header of the relevant column in the data sheet. If you wish to change the time units of an existing data sheet, click the Change Units icon on the Main page of the control panel.

The Change Units window will appear. The units that are currently being used in the data sheet will be displayed at the top of the window. In the Change Units To field, you can choose any other defined time unit to be used in the data sheet. In the Conversion Options area, specify what will happen when the units are changed:

You can convert the existing data to the new units. For example, if you had a time of 10 in a data sheet that was using hours, that time would become 600 if you converted the data to minutes (10 hours x 60 minutes per hour = 600 minutes). For standard folios, when this option is selected, you can select whether you want to copy the data to a new sheet in the folio and then perform the conversion, leaving the original data sheet unchanged, or convert the data in the current sheet.
You can leave the data unchanged and just apply the new units. This would be appropriate if, for example, you had entered all of your data and then realized that the data sheet was using different units from the original units in which the times were measured.
