Is there a way to change the units to Metric and Imperial for the same table?
I would like the pressures to be KPA and temps/speed/torque... to be in Imperial. So, can the rows be in Metric and the columns be in Imperial or vice/versa?

Jeff,

See if these links help:

Thanks Joe,

I read a couple of those already. I have now read all 4 links. It appears what I want to do is not possible.

Hi Jeff,

It can be done. In the tune tool, within the Configure Display Units tool, right click on the specific table you'd like altered. From there you can specify the data, row and column units individually.

Hi Jeff,

I have been using "mixed" units:
speed in mph,
manifold pressure in kPa,
trans pressure in psi,
temp in F,
torque in ftlb,
power in hp,
mass in g,
flowrate in g/s

Is this what you mean...?
It allows me to think in "naturally"... :fluffy:[lol... that is a fluffy statement:doh2:]

As Justin said it can be done (if you drill deeper on those links you will see exactly this)... see the attached pic.

This such a useful feature that we want you to be able to do it... :rockon:

[...I can't think properly without it...]

Cheers,
Joe

Thanks Guys,
I must not be doing something right. I WILL try it again tonight when I get home from work.

Success:cucumber: I wasn't catching on to the "Right Click" part of the process. Believe it or not---I actually consider myself fairly intelligent, But you could never prove it by my computer skills!
