HMs DIY #1-6

Yes - in the example it is 220 cm for 29“ MTB.

Here is the two I have for the two chainrings

I am quite excited to try this. Looks awesome. I just started to set up a data field. Can anybody tell me which units are used for distance values? Is it switching between m and km depending on the size of the value or is it always one of those? Is it depending on the value (e.g. distance vs. elevation)? Is it displaying the unit after the value or do i need to know whether the next point is in 20 m or 20 km?

Depending on setup your device, the default units are:
(to set in System - Units...)

Distance:  km/mi
Elevation:  m/ft
Temperature: C/F
Time 24/12 hours

In DIY designer for most values "$V" in text field represents the default value.
There's no switching meters/kilometers depending of the value. You have to declare the number of decimal places under "precision".
(For distance I chose precision=1 - means precise for 100m))

Only for time there are different possibilities to display H, M, S.

I recommend to read the Guidance PDF (especially pages 11 and 12. For time formats page 30)

Thanks a lot. I read the whole PDF, but the units used for distance I could not find. But it's clear now after your response. 

When making a graph, are you able to define how frequently measurements are plotted on the graph? For example, I want to make a graph that shows an elevation profile. How do I set the frequency with which measurements are plotted, and what period of time / number of recordings the graph covers (eg 2 hours, 200 measurements, etc.)? 

I read the documentation again, and I think I'm understanding that the number of values shown in the graph is dictated by the stroke (ie smaller stroke means more values shown in graph). And that values are recorded every second.

So I don't think this would work for my intended application, where I want to draw an elevation profile during a hike.

Is there a way to plot elevation against distance or time? For time, is there a way to have time increments longer than one second? 

You have understood the system correctly. You cannot show the elevation in function of the distance.

No, unfortunately not.
