Gemstone.Units.SI.ToScaledString = function(totalUnits, decimalPlaces, unitName, symbolNames, minimumFactor, maximumFactor);

Parameters

totalUnits Double: Total units to represent textually.
decimalPlaces Int32: Number of decimal places to display.
unitName String: Name of unit display (e.g., you could use "m/h" for meters per hour).
symbolNames String (Optional): Optional SI factor symbol or name array to use during textual conversion, defaults to Symbols.
minimumFactor Double (Optional): Optional minimum SI factor. Defaults to Yocto.
maximumFactor Double (Optional): Optional maximum SI factor. Defaults to Yotta.

Return Value

String
A String representation of the number of units.

Remarks

The symbolNames array needs one string entry for each defined SI item ordered from least (Yocto) to greatest (Yotta), see Names or Symbols arrays for examples.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException	decimalPlaces cannot be negative.
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	minimumFactor or maximumFactor is not defined in Factors array.
