Ok, you can use the Formula to do this task:

Formula > Grids > Define a grid diagnostic, and enter "newUnit(field, varName, 
newUnit)", the field
is the variable you will select when a new window poopup, the varName is 
something like "topo", "temperature",...,
the newUnit is a string of new unit "celsius",....


Let me know if you need more help.
