Conversion Functions

Cnv

Syntax:

variable = Cnv(variable1, unit)

• The Cnv function converts variable1 to the conversion units specified by unit and returns the result. Conversion information must have been specified for variable1. An expression cannot be used instead of supplying variable1.
• The unit must be a valid conversion unit belonging to the conversion family for variable1.
• The conversion units ARE case sensitive.

Example:

Real  len("L","m")*, d{r, Cnv("Qm", "kg/s")}, r1@, r2@

d  = ["P_11.Qm (kg/s)"]
r1 = Cnv(len, "ft")
r2 = Cnv(d, "t/h")

CnvVal

Syntax:

variable = CnvVal(variable1, family, unit, ReqdUnit)

• The CnvVal function converts variable1 from the conversion units specified by unit to the conversion units specified by ReqdUnit for the specified conversion family and returns the result.
• The unit and ReqdUnit must be a valid conversion unit belonging to the specified conversion family.
• The conversion family and conversion units ARE case sensitive.

Example:

Real  len, d1, d2, r1@, r2@

d1 = ["P_011.Qm (kg/s)"]
d2 = ["P_012.Qm (kg/s)"]
r1 = CnvVal(len, "L", "m", "ft")
r2 = CnvVal(d1 + d2, "Qm", "kg/s", "t/h")
