Overview
Mass Flow Measurement Unit specifies the unit of measure that will be used for the mass flow
rate. The unit used for mass total and mass inventory is derived from this unit.
Procedure
Set Mass Flow Measurement Unit to the unit you want to use.
The default setting for Mass Flow Measurement Unit is g/sec (grams per second).
