We typically convert sensor values to a physical unit, if it makes sense to do so. For example, we convert our drivetrain encoders to feet. However, we only use that unit (easy to do on a small development team, harder to do on a large development team that spans multiple companies like the mars orbiter). When there isn't a straight forward conversion, or where that conversion doesn't "help", we leave it in sensor units. We have not used LabVIEW's convert unit feature.
