WP 34S Unit conversion question
Hi there,

some time ago when trying to convert the meaning of "20 pound paper" within the DIY instructions of the WP 34S pocket reference into in Europe more usual "gram(me) per square meter", I wondered about the different results given by WP 34S, and HP48/49/50. Digging further into it, I detected the reason for this discrepancy. On a HP48/49/50, in accordance with the UK definition, 1 pound = 0.45359237 kg.

OTOH, within WP 34S, 1 pound = 0.4535924 kg. Not really a big deal, only a neglectable 0.03 mg difference, but nevertheless an abberation from the HP predecessors.

Is there a minute chance of reconsidering this issue in a future firmware release of the WP 34S?

Kind regards, Ralf.
