Free Unit Conversion Program
From ProtoDesign, Inc.
Bolingbrook, IL., July 30, 2001 (www.protodesign-inc.com)
- ProtoDesign, Inc. today announces the release of Unit Conversion for SansGUI
version 1.0, free to all SansGUI users. Unit Conversion for SansGUI is a
powerful utility program that converts numerical values from one measuring unit
to another. Based on IEEE/ASTM SI-10 1997 Standard, this program covers
most of the SI units and many other non-SI units. Advanced features unique
to Unit Conversion for SansGUI are: 1) Extensibility: Users can extend unit
tables to include any desired measuring units not defined in the
distribution. In addition to built-in unit tables, there are five user
definable unit tables for creating new dimensions of measurement. Dynamic
unit conversion tables, such as international currency exchange rates, can also
be implemented easily. 2) Versatility: Users can convert a single value,
an array (vector) of values to five different units to be displayed in a table,
or a whole resizable matrix of data in one operation. 3) Programmability:
Users can populate the data array (vector) or matrix programmatically using
Microsoft Visual C++ or Compaq Visual Fortran. Programming examples in
both languages are included.
Unit Conversion for SansGUI is available immediately and is free of charge
from ProtoDesign, Inc. It requires SansGUI Run-Time Environment to run on
Microsoft Windows platforms. The SansGUI Run-Time Environment provides
users with a highly interactive modeling and simulation environment to configure
models, enter data, run simulations, examine and plot simulation results from
supporting simulators. SansGUI Run-Time Edition costs US$49 per license
and can be purchased directly from ProtoDesign's on-line store. A free
demonstration version of SansGUI can be used with all the features described
above except for file saving capability. Both Unit Conversion for SansGUI
and SansGUI Demonstration Edition can be downloaded from ProtoDesign's web site
at http://www.protodesign-inc.com/download.htm.
