Not entirely.
Part of our ECU code is being written by Ford in the USA, to plug into
the code written in France, the UK and Germany by the supplier and the
designer.
Imagine my annoyance to find that the very first thing that the US
code did was convert the incoming temperature signal to Fahrenheit,
then convert it back again at the output port.

Considering that the numbers are all scaled representations of the
real values as 16-bit ints this makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
