Recent EMC's can read the default choice of inch/metric from a line in the
ini file.

; General section ----------------------------------------
[EMC]
...
; Startup codes for RS-274-NGC interpreter
RS274NGC_STARTUP_CODE = G20 (inch)

The latest version of tkemc has a menu choice for units to be displayed.
But you will still have to define the basic distance unit in the ini file.

LINEAR_UNITS = 0.03937007874016 (inch)
or
LINEAR_UNITS = 1.0 (mm)
