Pay attention to the following during the conversion process:
• Select a data block with the data selector from the user branch.
• Only offline data can be used, other data are rejected by an error message. If there are no
offline data linked, first save online data in a file of their own.
• Rounding errors may occur through multiple conversions i.e. when converted from
”metric” to ”inch” and then back from ”inch” to ”metric”.
