Dear CONVERTulator™ User –

Thanks for purchasing CONVERTulator™, as easy to use as 1,2,3. Here is a simple example to make sure our valued customers are having the most effective user experience.

CONVERTulator™ is a set of worksheets that allows you to convert units of length, area, volume, time, speed, counting base and many others into any other common unit. CONVERTulator™ sets itself apart from other conversion programs by letting you see at a glance, several different units of measure for the same conversion. You can then chain these conversions or even connect them to other worksheets.

You will most often use the "Units" sheet when doing common unit conversion and the "Bases" sheet when converting arithmetic bases, such as base 2 to base 10. You can refer to Constants when doing other calculations. If a cell says Activate, you need to get an activation ID.

Always verify that your work makes common sense. If it doesn't, recheck the inputs. CONVERTulator™ is a useful adjunct to your calculator and other conversion programs as it computes the result to many significant digits. If your conversion results do not agree for common problems, something is wrong with your other conversion program! Unlike most conversions, it lets you see the results in several different measurement units at once. This is useful.

Getting Started

Enter your activation id at the top of the registration sheet. This is essential for the software to work properly. It can take up to two business days to provide the id, but don't get frustrated, there is a grace period. Use the time to get to know the software and plan your problem.

Tip: The main trick to using CONVERTulator™ is to remember that you only provide inputs at the yellow highlighted fields.

Let's solve a practice problem to make sure everything is working as expected.

Problem: We want to convert room temperature, 70° Farenheit, to Celsius.

a)      Go to Units spreadsheet. Notice that it is preloaded with another common value.

b)     Select the Input cell on the third row, whose units are °F:

·         The cell has been colored red here for clarity.

c)     Enter the value you want to convert, 70° Farenheit:

·         Notice that all the cells on that same row, change in value to show you the correct temperature in common units. The row has been colored white here for clarity.

Recap: This example converted a common Farenheit temperature to Celsius, Kelvin and Rankine. This allows you to compare your result in several different systems of measurement.

·         How many degrees Celsius is 273.15 Kelvin?
·         Would you need to wear a coat or sandals at this temperature?

All the best ,

- Van
