Re: Calculator Advanced Mode Engineering Conversions

Hi All,

Sure, sometimes you get an answer expressed for example in something like Henries or Seconds, but it is only meaningful in micro Henries or nano Seconds.

Having the automatic conversion is a great way to get the answer expressed in a meaningful way without making mistakes in the conversion if typing the conversion the easy/lazy way like "/1000000" (where is easy to miss a zero), although of course there is the less time saving way of having to type something like "*10^(-6)" where it is more difficult to make a mistake.

I also know that sometimes people who are new to the scientific units like enthusiasts or makers might get a bit confused between all the unit scales, and having them explicitly included is a great way to help reduce the learning curve.

All the best,

Robert
