UOM.Convert Method

public double Convert(
	Object fromValue,
	UOM fromUOM
)

Public Function Convert ( 
	fromValue As Object,
	fromUOM As UOM
) As Double

Dim instance As UOM
Dim fromValue As Object
Dim fromUOM As UOM
Dim returnValue As Double

returnValue = instance.Convert(fromValue, 
	fromUOM)

public:
double Convert(
	Object^ fromValue, 
	UOM^ fromUOM
)

member Convert : 
        fromValue : Object * 
        fromUOM : UOM -> float 

Parameters

fromValue

Type: SystemObject
The value to be converted. Normally, this is sent as a double.

fromUOM

Type: OSIsoft.AF.UnitsOfMeasureUOM
The unit of measure of the specified value. If this is not specified, or is specified, then the unit of measure should be specified in the fromValue by passing it as a string.

Return Value

The UOM class for the specified parameter must match the class for this UOM. If the two UOMs share the same reference object, or are a direct reference to each other, then the conversion is done directly using these reference units. This allows fewer mathematical operations and reduces the loss of precision during conversion. Otherwise, the canonical unit-of-measure factors are used to convert.

Optionally, you can specify for the fromUOM parameter and specify the units in the input parameter if it is represented in string notation. For example, "100.0 ft". In this case, the Convert function looks up the UOM from the text name or abbreviation that follows the floating point number.
