Example

Suppose you want to convert a series of events from kilograms into pounds:

1. In your Pipeline, open the required Action configuration and select the input Field.

2. In the Operation field, choose Convert mass.

3. Set Input units to Kilogram (kg).

4. Set Output units to Pound (lb).

5. Give your Output field a name and click Save. The unit of mass of the values in your input field will be transformed. For example:

Input data - "100"

Input units - "Kilogram (kg)"

Output units - "Pound (lb)"

Output data - "220.4622622"

You can try out operations with specific values using the Input field above the operation. You can enter the value in the example above and check the result in the Output field.
