Convert a Scalar to Text using a specified reference consistently across unit systems.

### Inputs

| Name      | Type                                                     | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| --------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Value     | [Scalar](../../../../block-documentation/types/scalar)   | The value to convert to text.                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| Reference | [Scalar](../../../../block-documentation/types/scalar)   | The reference used to maintain a consistent output. Typically this is a value of 1, with the desired unit. For example, if looking to export in units of millimeters, then an input of 1mm would be appropriate. |
| Precision | [Integer](../../../../block-documentation/types/integer) | The number of significant digits for formatting the output value as text.                                                                                                                                        |
