  2. Unit transformation rules a
  3. Subscripts might be used as symbols
  4. Work with fundamental constants as with units
  5. Evaluation protection of units, so unit m in expression m=1; length=1∘m is treated correctly
  6. All results are presented in globally defined format which can be easily changed
  7. The ability of incorporation a set of notation for units of specific field of research
