Configuring Boats
A. Assigning Oars to Positions
Turn on all the Oars and other devices you want to monitor with a
single press of each device’s button. All devices should show a solid green
light. As mentioned previously, the Tablet can find up to 19 devices (Oars,
Accelerometers, and/or Gate Angle Sensors).
On power-up, the Tablet will be in the
Scan for Oars Mode
. The on-
screen instructions tell you to press
play/pause
to search for “oars”, which
includes other devices.
The Tablet will list all oars/devices it detects by each device’s
stickered letter/number along with its customizable name. If a stickered
letter/number does not agree with the value on the Tablet display, you can
change the value that appears on the Tablet with the PC software
Update
program.
The screen will now say "
Assign Oars
" in the upper left corner and
“
Assigning devices to boat #1
” over the detected oar/device box. Use the
forward
and
back
buttons to scroll to the device you wish to assign to a
position.
Assign the highlighted Oar or other device in the list to an oar
position (1-8) by pressing the position number buttons along the bottom of
the Tablet. Assign an Accelerometer or Gate Angle Sensor to the 9
th
position by pressing
bookmark.
On newer tablets, press
bookmark
or the
boat
button just to the right of the rower buttons. Note: Seat
Accelerometers and Gate Angle Sensors can also be assigned to positions
