[Boost-users] [Units] Un-scaling dimensionless value

I am using Boost.Units to try and compute the number of samples in a time interval, given the sample rate. Given this code: typedef make_scaled_unit >

::type kilohertz_unit; typedef make_scaled_unit > >::type microseconds_unit;

<code> template <typename T=unsigned> using Kilohertz = quantity; template <typename T=unsigned> using Microseconds = quantity; // Using boost::rational as the value type neatly avoids overflows Kilohertz sample_rate(125*si::kilo*si::hertz); Microseconds duration(10*si::seconds); auto total = sample_rate*duration; </code> Now, when I cout these values, I see that everything is technically the correct. The problem is that total is a dimensionless quantity which is scaled----it's 1,250,000,000, when I expect 1,250,000, and it displays as "1250000000 m", where m is "milli", not "meters". What is the correct way to un-scale dimensionless quantities? I tried this: quantity unscaled(total); However, unscaled still has the same value. I also tried typedef make_scaled_unit >

::type dimensionless_unit; quantity unscaled(total);

but this time, unscaled came out zero. Any suggestions?
