Dataframes are also accepted, and specific units can be specified for the values in the index.
```python
>>> T = 2
>>> H = 100
>>> # Generate regular waves with height=100mm, and period=2s
>>> t = np.arange(0, 10.1, 0.1)
>>> eta = 0.5 * H * np.sin(t * 2 * np.pi / T)
>>> df_model = pd.DataFrame(index=t, data=eta)
>>> df_model.columns = ['$\eta$ (mm)']
>>> df_model.index.name = 'Time (s)'
>>> df_model.plot()
```

```python
>>> # Convert to prototype dimensions, with length scale=25
df_proto = froude.model_to_proto(
df_model,
length_scale=25,

df_proto.columns = ['$\eta$ (m)']

`scaling` uses `pint` for unit and dimension conversions. `pint` is able to interpret a wide range of different input units.
```sh
```python
>>> # Convert water head model value (mm) to prototype pressure value (kPa)
>>> froude.model_to_proto(10, length_scale=100, 'mm.H20', 'kPa')
