    To convert to [rad] of rotational displacement from these channels which have front-end calibrated units of [nrad]:
        DTT Units: [rad]
        DTT Calibration: 
            - Gain :: 1e-9 [rad/nrad]
            - {z:p} :: {(none),(none)}


Inertial sensor channels in translational velocity units, that need more than just a scale factor:
    X Translation Displacement
       H1:ISI-HAM2_BLND_GS13X_IN1_DQ      HAM2 X displacement, GS13 inertial sensor, pre-blend
       H1:ISI-HAM3_BLND_GS13X_IN1_DQ      HAM3 X displacement, GS13 inertial sensor, pre-blend

    To convert to [m] of translational displacement from these channels which have front-end calibrated units of "inertial sensor response, which asymptotes to 1 [nm/s]":
        DTT Units: [m]
        DTT Calibration: 
            - Gain :: 1e-9 [(m/s)/(nm/s)]
            - {z:p} :: {(0.707 0.707),(0 , 0)} (note the space separation for the zeros -- representing a complex pair of zeros at 1 Hz, 45 [deg] apart -- and the comma separation for the poles.)

        Important :: In the UNITS tab of the plot display, chose "rad/Hz^{1/2}" which integrates from velocity into displacement. This needs to be checked/done frequency as DTT resets the units every time you remeasure or make a change to the plots.


Inertial sensor channels in rotational velocity units, that need more than just a scale factor:

    RY Rotation Displacement
       H1:ISI-HAM2_BLND_GS13RY_IN1_DQ      HAM2 RY displacement, GS13 inertial sensor, pre-blend
       H1:ISI-HAM3_BLND_GS13RY_IN1_DQ      HAM3 RY displacement, GS13 inertial sensor, pre-blend

       H1:ISI-HAM3_BLND_GS13RZ_IN1_DQ      HAM3 RY displacement, GS13 inertial sensor, pre-blend

    To convert to [rad] of rotational displacement from these channels which have front-end calibrated units "inertial sensor response, which asymptotes to 1 [nrad/s]":
        DTT Units: [rad]
        DTT Calibration: 
            - Gain :: 1e-9 [(rad/s)/(rad/s)]
            - {z:p} :: {(0.707 0.707),(0 , 0)} (note the space separation for the zeros -- representing a complex pair of zeros at 1 Hz, 45 [deg] apart -- and the comma separation for the poles.)

        Important :: In the UNITS tab of the plot display, chose "rad/Hz^{1/2}" which integrates from velocity into displacement. This needs to be checked/done frequency as DTT resets the units every time you remeasure or make a change to the plots.

Note, you could do the integration in the calibration interface (rather than forcing DTT to do it) by adding a third pole at 0 Hz in the {z:p} list, and changing the Gain to 1e-9/(2*pi) = 1.59e-10.
