Managing Units

Unit management is a critical aspect of radar product development, ensuring consistency and precision in measurements across diverse platforms and applications. The following fields are essential for managing units within the radar product ecosystem: Source name, Metric Name, Metric Factor, Standard Name, and Standard Factor.

Configure Unit¶

1. Source Name:

   • Definition: This field identifies the unit, providing contextual information about its derivation.

   • Purpose: The source name identifies what the unit of measurement is.

2. Metric Name:

   • Definition: Metric Name specifies the type of measurement represented by the unit, offering clarity on the physical quantity being assessed.

   • Purpose: Standardizing metric names facilitates seamless communication and comprehension among developers and users.

3. Metric Factor:

   • Definition: The Metric Factor represents the numerical multiplier associated with the unit, allowing for conversion between different units within the same metric.

   • Purpose: Enables easy conversion between units, ensuring compatibility and consistency in radar product measurements.

4. Standard Name:

   • Definition: Standard Name identifies the reference standard against which the unit is defined, establishing a baseline for accuracy and consistency.

   • Purpose: Referencing a standard ensures uniformity in measurements, fostering interoperability and reliability across radar products.

5. Standard Factor:

   • Definition: The Standard Factor denotes the numerical multiplier that aligns the unit with the specified standard, enabling precise calibration.

   • Purpose: Calibration against a standard factor guarantees accuracy, reliability, and compliance with industry and regulatory standards.
