Chapter 3: Using the Web Interface
Setting Default Measurement Units
Default measurement units are applied to all BCM2 user interfaces
across all users, including users accessing the BCM2 via external
authentication servers. For a list of affected user interfaces, see
User
Interfaces Showing Default Units
(on page 163). The front panel display
also shows the default measurement units.
Note: The preferred measurement units set by any individual user or by
the administrator on a per-user basis will override the default units in
the web interface and command line interface. See
Setting Your
Preferred Measurement Units

(on
