Can I export nTop Automate JSON files in different units?

Question:

When opening the output file, the value is always in mm, but I want it to be in inches. Is it possible to change the units in this file to give the desired unit?

Applies to:

  • nTop Automate 
  • JSON

Answer:

Our internal data structure uses kg, m to calculate and represent the stored value to display as the user's unit to maintain consistency and manage the computational risks.

nTop Automate JSON output only exports as it is because it pulls directly from the original data, not the displayed data.

If you need to export the value in your own unit, we suggest exporting the value as a text file using a combination of Export Text and Text from Scalar block.
