#### Measurement dimensions and unit conversion
|
||||||
|
Instead of a bare unit string on a field, associate a field with a measurement
|
||||||
|
dimension (e.g. `temperature`, `resistance`, `frequency`, `voltage`). The dimension
|
||||||
|
defines the set of valid units and the conversion factors between them (°C, °K, °R,
|
||||||
|
°F for temperature; Ω, kΩ, MΩ for resistance; etc.).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This would allow:
|
||||||
|
- Entering values in any compatible unit and storing in a canonical unit internally
|
||||||
|
- Displaying in the user's preferred unit
|
||||||
|
- Parametric search with cross-unit comparisons (e.g. `temp_range > 200K` matching
|
||||||
|
a component with `temp_range = -73°C`)
|
||||||
|
- Catching unit mismatches at entry time
