The following tables display the units available in LabVIEW. LabVIEW recognizes both SI units and units from other systems of measurement. The symbol * indicates the base units LabVIEW uses.
The base units in LabVIEW are the SI base units.
| Quantity Name | Unit | Abbreviation |
|---|---|---|
| length | meter* | m |
| mass | kilogram* | kg |
| time | second* | s |
| electric current | ampere* | A |
| thermodynamic temperature | kelvin* | K |
| amount of substance | mole* | mol |
| luminous intensity | candela* | cd |
LabVIEW also recognizes units derived from the SI base units. The following table shows SI derived units that LabVIEW recognizes.
