"""An argument that can take a numerical value.
If ndecimals = 0, scale = 1 and step is integer, then it returns
an integer value. Otherwise, it returns a floating point value.
The simplest way to represent an integer argument is
``NumberValue(step=1, ndecimals=0)``.
When ``scale`` is not specified, and the unit is a common one (i.e.
defined in ``artiq.language.units``), then the scale is obtained from
the unit using a simple string match. For example, milliseconds (``"ms"``)
units set the scale to 0.001. No unit (default) corresponds to a scale of
1.0.
For arguments with uncommon or complex units, use both the unit parameter
(a string for display) and the scale parameter (a numerical scale for
experiments).
For example, ``NumberValue(1, unit="xyz", scale=0.001)`` will display as
1 xyz in the GUI window because of the unit setting, and appear as the
numerical value 0.001 in the code because of the scale setting.
:param unit: A string representing the unit of the value.
:param scale: A numerical scaling factor by which the displayed value is
multiplied when referenced in the experiment.
:param step: The step with which the value should be modified by up/down
buttons in a UI. The default is the scale divided by 10.
:param min: The minimum value of the argument.
:param max: The maximum value of the argument.
:param ndecimals: The number of decimals a UI should use.
