Difference in units between data model and digital calibration certificates #236

@heikowestermann and @stephenholleran could you please remind me why we chose to have separated units for the digital calibration certificate and the data model?

I have found that the maintenance for that is not efficient as one needs to keep two databases.

@kersting @stephenholleran I think the idea was that adding all possible unit combinations necessary for the anemometer slope unit ( (m/s) / Hz, etc.) would be too much for the data model units. Please correct me if I am wrong, @stephenholleran. I don't like the current approach with fixed units, but I understand the necessity.
