Conversions between temperature units rerquire a combination of a scalar factor and an offset value to reflect the varying zero-point of different scales. However, Unit conversion only considers scalar conversions and therefore delivers meaningless results for temperature unit conversions.
The option 'Convert value' should be avoided when defining Unit number for temperature units.
In effect, this makes the maintenance of 'Base values' for temperature units irrelevant.
