Determine or set units for totalized statistic in spy.pull

[MarkCov]

In the documentation for spy.pull, there's a section for Mixing Conditions with Signals.  If I'm using the totalized statistic, how do I either determine what time units SEEQ is sending the results back as, or specify them.

This post  implies that I would pass totalized("min") similar to how it asks for Rate("min"), but SEEQ doesn't like that, see error message below.

I ask because it gave me results with the time units of seconds in one particular test, but another later test gave me it in minutes.  I'm not clear what I did to change the results.

I was only able to deduce it by checking the value and knowing what answer to expect.

Passing the Totalized statistic behaves the same as if you called the Totalized statistic in formula without specifying a unit of measure (i.e. $condition.setProperty('Total Quantity', $signal, totalized()) :

• If you pass a signal with a rate unit like kg/min, totalize() will coerce the resultant value to a quantity (kg), since a unit like kg/min * s isn't useful
• If you pass a signal that is not a rate, totalize() will default to use seconds -- things like kg * s

I'd be curious if you could recreate it giving you seconds one instance and minutes another. I'm also going to create a feature request in our system to be able to specify the units when using totalize with shape='capsules'

Thanks John for confirming the default units.  I haven't been able to replicate the seconds / minutes inconsistency again.  I'll submit a ticket if it comes up again.
