The vehicle safety tools' Units menu allows you to convert to/from common unit sets.  It is often necessary to convert data when comparing disparate sources (for example test vs CAE).  This menu provides a simple and fast way to convert one or many data curves simultaneously.  All conversion constants are displayed for you to review before applying the conversion.

The Units menu contains the following secondary menus.  From each menu, you can convert various units of measure.
