This switches between metric units (meters) and imperial
units (feet and miles). This affects the display of values
- use during flight monitoring, data graphing and all of the

- exporting to CSV files, those are always produced in metric units.

This brings up a dialog similar to the Monitor Flight UI,
except it works with the altimeter in “idle” mode by sending
query commands to discover the current state rather than
