Units

Home: SettingsUnits

This dialog box allows you to manage the global unit settings for your design.

If units are modified, the properties of all components of the design are scaled because their values are not changed according to the unit scale factor. For instance, if you select 'm' instead of 'mm' as a dimension unit, all lengths are scaled by 1000 because their values are not automatically scaled by 1/1000.

Note that characteristic impedances, e.g., the characteristic impedance of a Transmission Line Block, does not refer to the global resistance unit, but always to Ohms.
