Hi Lars
For the record, and for MEG only :
It looks like (if the units of sensors are Tesla and measurement in mm) then the moments will be in nAm. (there is an extra scaling factor of 1000 in the spm code).
I am also looking into the EEG case now.

Dear Lars,
It seems like the answer to your question is not that simple even for
your case where it's quite clear what's going on in terms of scaling.
I passed it to Fieldtrip developers who will look at how the units are
handled by their forward computation. When I hear back from them I'll
update you and the list.You can follow their progress via

Best,
Vladimir
