Warnings on units #48
Description
Hi,
Should dliswriter emit a warning when a ChannelItems's unit does not belong to the list on Appendix F?
In our experience, we get warnings with that long list of units very often, making it look more serious than it really is...
'some_unit' is not one of the allowed units: A, K, cd, dAPI, dB, gAPI, kg, m, mol, nAPI, rad, s, sr, Btu, C, D, GPa, Gal, Hz, J, L, MHz, MPa, MeV, Mg, Mpsi, N, Oe, P, Pa, S, T, V, W, Wb, a, acre, atm, b, bar, bbl, c, cP, cal, cm, cu, d, daN, deg, degC, degF, dm, eV, fC, ft, g, gal, h, in, kHz, kPa, kV, keV, kgf, km, lbf, lbm, mA, mC, mD, mGal, mL, mS, mT, mV, mW, mg, min, mm, mohm, ms, nC, nW, ns, ohm, pC, pPa, ppdk, ppk, ppm, psi, pu, t, ton, uA, uC, uPa, uV, um, uohm, upsi, us
As far as I understand, those units are not enforced by the standard. Maybe wouldn't it be better to loose the definition of the ChannelItem's units attribute to a str? Or to emit a simpler discrete warning like "unit not enlisted in DLIS rp66v1 Appendix F"?
Thanks in advance!
