IMcSpatialCalibConversionFactor Property

Property Value

Type: Double

The unit conversion factor can be used to convert a value expressed in a spatial calibration using absolute units to a value expressed in meters. This factor can then be used to convert to any other desired units. For instance, to convert to millimeters use value * ConversionFactor * 1000. The conversion factor is a read-only property for spatial calibrations that are expressed in known physical units, which should have the unit specified using the Unit property which will also set the conversion factor. The ConversionFactor can be set for other arbitrary physical units. Specify the Unit as mcsuOther, set the unit name (e.g. Angstroms), optionally set the unit abbreviation, and then set the ConversionFactor correctly for the new unit (e.g. 10e-10 for Angstroms).
