Measure Converter — the set of forms, database
tables, menus and procedures designed for visualization of values written
in different measurement units. Use of such a tool becomes a necessity
when one has to work with both anglo-american Imperial System and
International System of Units SI — feet and metres,
pounds and kilograms, pints and litres... good gracious!
Compact
Measurement Units Equivalents form not only converts values.
The form can be conveniently used as a helper informational window: as soon
as focus gets to a field containing, for instance, size in inches, the
escort form displays the equivalents in centimeters, feet, etc. Switching
to a different field with mass in pounds will make the form to display it
in kilograms and so on. The database already contains more than 120 measures
of 17 categories and more than 750 conversion formulae; and can be easily
extended.
