! Change the display for the common units of utility. ! Change the color scheme for window type, The options for individual windows include methods to ! Sort a window’s rows and columns, ! Add text labels, and ! Change the size of the image in a window. The following paragraphs tell you how to make each of these changes. Changing Measure Units. The Edit::Change Measure Units option lets you change the units for an measure. For example, you could use this option to change a temperature measure from Fahrenheit to centigrade or a miles per gallon measure to kilometers per liter. The option is useful because it changes the units throughout LDW, not only in the Matrix display but also in the preference sets, where the units might be used in SUF assessments or in tradeoffs. When you select this option, LDW will display the dialog box shown in Figure 8-45. 8-52 Section 8 -- Using LDW 3: Reviewing Results
Figure 8-45. Dialog box for Edit::Change Measure Units option. In the dialog box, you enter the new units name in the "New Units" edit. Next you tell LDW how convert from the old units to the new units. For example, to convert from Fahrenheit to centigrade, you would multiply by .562 and then add -17.98. Deleting all alternatives. The Edit::Delete All Alternatives option lets you delete all of the alternatives in the analysis. After you select the option and confirm, LDW deletes the alternatives and adds a single placeholder alternative (LDW requires there to always be at least one alternative). Changing Simulation Options. LDW uses Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the effect of uncertainties in measure levels on uncertainties in the ranking results. The Preferences::Simulation Preferences option, lets you set the number of simulation trials LDW should use and also lets you set the initial "seed" number for the simulation. When you select this option, LDW will display the dialog box shown in Figure 8-46. Figure 8-46. Dialog box for Preferences::Simulation Preferences option.
