Auto Convert and Unit Conversion Back to Main Tutorial
Auto convert, if selected, causes GCAP to do unit conversion automatically. To enable Auto Convert, go to Preferences\Auto Convert and make sure that there is a check mark on the left of the title “Auto Convert”. If there is no check on the left of the title “Auto Convert”, GCAP will not automatically do any unit conversion.
For example, after Auto Convert is selected and you open screen 6A, this is what you should see on the screen.
After entering a temperature value of 100 F (below), you want to know how much the temperature is in Celsius.
You click on the drop box beside the temperature value (below). If you want to convert 100 F to Celsius, move the mouse to the letter C.
You should see that the letter C is highlighted.
Click it, you should notice that the temperature has changed from 100 F to 37.7778 C
If you want GCAP to do unit conversion only, please go to Tools\
