GMR Data Items Units
FMS assigns an expected unit set to data coming from GMR. On occasion, GMR data could arrive with some data items using unit values other than what is expected. To adjust for this, you can define and specify an optional unit set override to correct the unit value inconsistencies.
The following EFM (electronic flow measurement) data item units list the expected unit values for the GMR unit set applied to data coming into the CygNet Measurement system from GMR.
GMR Unit Set
Expected GMR units for the following data item types are listed in the tables below.
Configuration Units
The following units apply to GMR configuration data items. Additional Shared Units apply to multiple data item types.

Shared Units
Some units are shared by multiple data items, such as gas configuration and gas metering, or gas items and liquid items. These units are included in the following table to identify units applicable to a variety of GMR data item types.

GMR Item Description |
GMR Units |
|---|---|
| Gas composition | % (percent) |
| Liquid concentration | ppm (parts per million) |
| Viscosity | lbm/fts (pounds per foot second) |
Unit Set Override
Unless you specify otherwise, FMS will apply the expected unit set to data coming into FMS via a GMR migration or via an FMS Legacy data group, even if it contains items with data units other than what is expected. To allow you to correct for this, FMS provides the option to specify a Unit set override to apply to the incoming GMR migration / FMS Legacy data instead.
The unit set override can be set in the following locations.
