centimeters, with repeated presses toggling
between linear, area and volume units.
g9

B
1/1000” (mils) — Multiplies a dimensionless entry by
0.001 Inch and displays the result as Inches. Converts
a linear entry to decimal Inches. For both methods,
the result is rounded and displayed to three decimal
