Dear Roy That's a good example. I don't really know what it is, of course, but it sounds like it could have a standard name of ctd_fluorometer_voltage and units of V. It seems clear to me to call a spade a spade, rather than to call a spade a raw_garden_implement :-).
It's interesting how this discussion is different from the one about isccp and calipso cloud area fraction. In that discussion, I thought that the standard name should be cloud_area_fraction. ISCCP and Calipso are further information about how the quantity is measured, but the quantity itself is a geophysical one, defined independently of the measurement technique. Here, the quantity being named relates specifically to a means of measurement, not to the final product. What are example of non-udunits? V is a udunit, all right. Perhaps a non-udunit is just a count of something? Does that need units? It could simply be regarded as dimensionless.
