Hello Inundash,

Sorry for the delay on this. In order to swap between units I would either recommend doing this in the scripting environment with an IF statement where depending on a bit (Metric/Imperial) you will scale the value accordingly.

The other option is to use expressions on the Analog Input value, and set up a Ternary IF statement that you check the Metric/Imperial bit and do the same offset you did in option 1. Below is a link to what ternary if statements are.
