LALUnit Struct Reference

Detailed Description

This structure stores units in the mksA system (plus Kelvin, Strain, and ADC Count).

It also stores an overall power-of-ten scaling factor. Thus, the units are given by

\begin{equation} 10^p\times\textrm{m}^{N_0/(1+D_0)}\times\textrm{kg}^{N_1/(1+D_1)} \times\textrm{s}^{N_2/(1+D_2)}\times\textrm{A}^{N_3/(1+D_3)} \times\textrm{K}^{N_4/(1+D_4)}\times\textrm{strain}^{N_5/(1+D_5)} \times\textrm{count}^{N_6/(1+D_6)} \end{equation}
