Remarks

Beginning in AF 2.7.5, the PI System can be configured to support case-sensitive UOM abbreviations. Previous releases only supported case-insensitive UOM abbreviations, which limited the ability to provide standard abbreviations for units such as megavolt (MV) and millivolt (mV). The UomCaseSensitive feature can be checked to determine if case-sensitive abbreviations are supported.
