8 Unit Conversion
The Unit Conversion application is used to convert an amount measured
in one unit into an amount in other units. To start the application tap
the Unit Conversion icon (second from left) in the "Menu" view.
8-1 How to use Unit Conversion
Select a unit type (Length, Mass, Area, Volume or Temperature) from the upper drop down list, and a unit to convert from the lower drop down list. Enter the amount and tap the "Calc" button. The equivalent amount in a range of units will appear. Once again you can enter the amount in the number area using graffiti, or by using the calculator interface which appears if you tap the "Value" button.
8-2 How to change the units which appear in the unit list.
Tap the "Set" button in the "Unit Conversion" view
and the "Select Units" view will appear. Select a unit type and
the unit list for that unit type will appear. The ">>" symbol
indicates the unit which is currently selected. You can change which unit
is currently selected by pressing the up and down hardware buttons. Tap
the "List" button to display the units which can be added to the
list. Click the unit you would like to add, and it will replace the currently
selected unit. When you are satisfied with your changes, tap "OK"
(or push "Cancel" to cancel).
A full list of the units available is furnished in the Appendix at the end of this document.
