Discovery extensibility and add-ins developer guide 2026 R1

System units and user units

Last update: 09.03.2026

Internally Discovery works in SI units: meters, kilograms, and seconds. The API also works in SI units.

The user may be working in some other units, but internally the units are still SI units. Conversions are done when values are presented to the user, or input by the user.

The Window class provides conversions between system units (SI units) and user units.
