Depending on the settings of the Units option for data import, the Verify Units dialog box appears. Proceed as follows to check and, if necessary, to correct the imported units.

1.First specify in the Action list box whether you want the units to be edited automatically or manually. Select Edit units to check the units individually and, if necessary to correct them.

2.Point the mouse to an imported unit in the first column of the list to obtain a summary of the data sets that use this unit.

3.Now check the displayed SI dimension. If Unknown appears here, then you should correct the unit. Even if an SI dimension is displayed, you should check it carefully to ensure that the unit is interpreted as expected. If the unit is correct, you can skip the next item.

4.Click on an incorrect unit in the column Replace With and specify the correct unit symbol. Confirm your entry by pressing the ENTER key. Recheck the SI dimension.

5.If nothing appears in the Physical Quantity column, then you should specify a quantity. To do this, click on the empty field in this column and choose one of the quantities displayed. You can also enter a name of your own choice.

6.If the corrections made are to be carried out automatically for future imports, select a storage location in the Save changes list box. Your replacements will then be added to the selected table when the dialog box is closed. You can use the Edit selected table button to check the current content of the table.

7.Click Close to close the dialog box. The selected action is then carried out.
