#
# This service can convert measurements to a chosen target unit system, which
# will then be used for the databases.
# THIS VALUE CANNOT BE CHANGED LATER!
#
# This service acts as a filter, converting the unit system coming from
# the hardware to a target output unit system.
#
# The target_unit affects only the unit system in the database. Once
# chosen it cannot be changed without converting the entire database.
# Modification of target_unit after starting weewx will result in
# corrupt data - the database will contain a mix of US and METRIC data.
#
# The value of target_unit does not affect the unit system for
# reporting - reports can display US, Metric, or any combination of
# units.
#
# In most cases, target_unit should be left as the default: US
#
# In particular, those migrating from a standard wview installation
# should use US since that is what the wview database contains.
#
# DO NOT MODIFY THIS VALUE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
target_unit = US # Choices are 'US' or 'METRIC'
