Choose the farm unit system

How to do it

  1. Open «Configuration».
  2. Pick «Units of measurement» - the system in use now is shown next to the item name.
  3. Press «Metric» or «Imperial».
  4. Save.

When it is available

  • Available to the farm administrator ONLY: the unit system belongs to the whole farm, not to one person.

Important

  • The setting changes the DISPLAY only. Values are always stored and calculated in the metric system, so switching there and back spoils nothing and does not accumulate rounding errors.
  • What changes: the solution and air temperatures (°C or °F), the box dimensions, the grid step and the working area of the cover (millimetres or inches), and also the look of dates and times.
  • The date format follows the unit system, not the interface language: metric gives 07.08.2026 and a twenty-four hour clock, imperial gives 08/07/2026 and a clock with AM and PM.
  • What does NOT change: the cell size marking. 40 mm, 3", 4" are written the same way in both systems - this is the name of a standard size under which net cups are sold all over the world, not a measurement. Showing «1.57 inches» instead would get in the way rather than help.
  • TDS and EC do not change either: ppm and µS are the same in both systems.
  • The setting is shared by all farm members.
  • The time zone is a neighbouring setting of the same farm profile (#216).

If you see a message

  • «Unit system: allowed values are» - the unit system is picked from the list named in the message.
