Select Units of Measurement
This tutorial shows how to change the Units selections in Report Generator. Available units of measurement are English and Metric.
The example uses a Standard data report (Snow Depth) to change the unit of measurement for data displayed in the View Report tab.
- Start Report Generator.
- Select the Create/Modify Report tab.
- Choose the station. In the Enter station(s) field, enter the following station ID: 526.
- Station 526, Hogg Pass, will be added to the Selected Stations list. When a station is added, the View Station Information link appears in the upper left corner of the application.
- Select the View Station Information link. The Station View panel will open, displaying the station name, station metadata (such as Network, County, Elevation, Latitude, and Longitude), a site photo and a link to the site in Google Maps.
- From the Station View pane, hover over the Reports dropdown list and select Snow Depth. A tabular report will open, displaying the snow water equivalent, change in snow water equivalent, snow depth, and change in snow depth for the Hogg Pass site for the last 30 days in inches.
- In the View Report tab, select Metric from the Units drop-down list. The units on the report will change from English to Metric.
This completes the Select Report Units tutorial. Now would be a good time to learn about report layout options.
