Function/Role of Exposure Units by DRF? #24

Closed hmcgrath closed 2 weeks ago

hmcgrath commented 1 month ago

On the Data Input tab, beside the Depth Replacement-Factor Database, there is a Exposure Units option. -I'm not clear on the purpose of this? it doesn't seem to perform a conversion. Is it just for the user to specify the overall units of the DRF database? If so, wondering how we could better label it or if there is a setting in the DRF database that could be read and auto-apply the units. image

This provides the unit for the columns in the DRF

It would probably better if this was read directly from the database (then displayed here for the user). But this would need an additional table to be included in the MRB.

improvements to the handling of units have been added to the dev branch. Also added some discussion in the documentation.
