rowing, you can change the stroke Oar by pressing and holding the button 
of  the  desired  new  stroke.  The  new  stroke  oar  is  indicated  by  a  pair  of 
asterisks before the impulse number for that oar. 

 

 

Users can change the appearance of a displayed curve and/or hide it 

by  pressing  the  button  associated  with  that  curve.  In  this  way,  users  can 
isolate  different  combinations  in  the  boat,  i.e.,  watch  just  stroke  and 
seven,  then  stroke  and  six,  then  stroke  and  five,  etc.,  or  watch  all  ports 
only and then all starboards only, etc.
