+===== Analog Units =====
+Visual3D expects certain common [[visual3d:documentation:c3d_signal_types:c3d_format#c3d_parameter_format|parameters]] to be included in the ANALOG Section of the [[visual3d:documentation:c3d_signal_types:c3d_format|C3D file]] when [[visual3d:documentation:c3d_signal_types:analog_data_type|ANALOG]] data is present. If no unit parameter is available for an ANALOG signal then Visual3D defaults to interpreting the signal as being reported in Volts (V).
