Use units of measure in your code for a better life

In our application software , When it comes to physical and chemical calculations , Only Frink 、F#、Modelica A few language variables have their own units , Most language variables contain only numeric values , Unit conversion needs to be completed before formula calculation of variables , After calculation, the result unit is converted into output unit , Unit conversion is mainly realized by several constants . This raises two questions ：

1. A large number of constants reduce code readability and maintainability ;

2. Calculation accuracy is difficult to guarantee .

UnitsNet Replace with variables with units double, Support automatic conversion of units , and ( part ) Support multiplication and division calculation of different units . Use UnitsNet Write formula calculation code , It can avoid direct unit conversion , So that the caller of the program can use any unit as input . stay .NET IoT take UnitsNet For any unit exposed by any sensor in the binding . There is a clear device in the document API The agreement of ：https://github.com/dotnet/iot/blob/main/Documentation/Devices-conventions.md
