The two categories that control unit display are the Power Conversion Options dropdown and the Display temperature values as Centigrade checkbox.

Power Unit Conversion Options​

Changing the selection in the Power Conversion Options dropdown controls how power consumption values are displayed by Device42.

The available conversion options are:

  • Do not convert: This default option displays power values exactly as they were returned via SNMP, without any conversion.
  • Convert Amps to Watts: Selecting this option causes Device42 to convert and display all returned power values in Watts.
  • Convert Watts to Amps: Selecting this option causes Device42 to convert and display all returned power values in Amps.

Default Voltage​

The Default Voltage (integer required) setting allows you to specify the default voltage for Device42 to use in calculations, only if a value is not returned via SNMP.

Display Temperature Values as Centigrade​

The Display temperature values as Centigrade checkbox controls the temperature display:

  • Checked: Converts all temperature values from Fahrenheit (°F) values to Celsius (°C) values and changes the display units to Celsius.
  • Unchecked (Default): Displays SI / Imperial units (°F). No unit conversion is performed.
