Parameter Descriptions

Decimal Places
VelocityUnits.Decimal

This parameter is used to select the number of decimal places used in velocity units scaling.
Using a high number of decimal places will improve velocity resolution, but will also limit
the maximum velocity. This parameter is selectable between 0 and 6 decimal places. The
number of decimal places set in this parameter determines the number of decimal places used
in all velocity parameters throughout the PowerTools Pro software.

Scaling
VelocityUnits.DistVelScale

Velocity units can be scaled to different from distance units, i.e. user distance units are inches
and velocity units are feet per minute, instead of inches per minute. To do this, simply enter
12 to set 1 foot equal to 12 inches (1 velocity unit = 12 distance units). Range is 1 to 1000,
integers only.

Units Name
VelocityUnits.Name

If the user wants the velocity units to have a different distance scaling than the distance units
a name can be entered here up to 12 characters, e.g. user distance units are inches and velocity
units are feet per minute.

Scaling
VelocityUnits.ScalingFlag

This parameter enables separate velocity and distance user units, name and scaling.

Time Scale
VelocityUnits.TimeScale

Velocity time scale can be set to user units per second or user units per minute, used for all
real-time velocities throughout the PowerTools Pro software.
