Description
Related to isue #56 there is another problem, internal conversion of values.
Sometimes the data you get or set in a measurement is not what that data actually represents.
For instance:
- One might have a voltage divider at the output of a voltage source. Here I would like a conversion factor somewhere in the instrument that takes care of that. At the end of the day I'd like to say: `bias.set(1e-3)` but the instrument might have to output `1.213V`.
- There could be an analog instrument in from of the instrument you measure. For instance a Current amplifier that translates Amperes to Volts, When I measure the voltage this represents the current. At the end of the day I'd like to say `current.get()` and get something in Amperes.
Both cases deal with manual additions/changes to instruments, or rather the representation of their values.
Should we have, Is there, or is there planned to have a standardized conversion of this?
