0 (dmm.UNITS_VOLTS) for "acvolts" and

dmm.units = state
value
For DC volts and AC volts, select from the following units:
▪ dmm.UNITS_VOLTS or 0
▪ dmm.UNITS_DECIBELS or 1
For temperature, select from the following units:
▪ dmm.UNITS_CELSIUS or 2
▪ dmm.UNITS_KELVIN or 3
▪ dmm.UNITS_FAHRENHEIT or 4
Details
This attribute is only valid when dmm.func is set to "dcvolts", "acvolts", or "temperature".
All other functions generate an error and return nil when queried.
The units value is saved with the dmm.func function setting, so if you use another function, then
return to "dcvolts", "acvolts", or "temperature", the units setting you set previously is
retained.
Errors are generated if the parameter value does not make sense for the selected function.
Example
dmm.func = "temperature"
dmm.units = dmm.UNITS_FAHRENHEIT
Sets units for temperature measurements to
Fahrenheit (°F).
