1-8. Since Gate Angle Sensors sensors mount on an oarlock, later, we will
show you how to relate a Gate Angle Sensor to its Oar.
NOTES
:
Like a Gate Angle Sensor, an Accelerometer can also be assigned to
any position (it can be attached to a seat to show slide movement)..
However, if you want the Accelerometer to indicate the set of the boat at
the catch, you must to assign it to the
9
th
/boat
position. An Accelerometer
assigned to positions 1-8 will only show acceleration. Lastly, Oars can only
be assigned to positions 1-8.
When you have assigned all the devices for a given boat, press
mode
select
to begin displaying curves, or press
record
to configure another
boat/configuration. When configuring another boat, all the devices will
reappear as options for the new boat.
If you make a mistake, you can
deselect an assignment by pressing the button on the position that is
incorrect and then assign the correct Oar or device to that position
. You
cannot go back and reconfigure a boat once it has been locked in by
pressing the
record
or
mode select
buttons.
TIP:
Place the Oars in the boat so that their labels match the seat positions
in the boat. This makes it easy to assign the Oars to the available positions
in the boat, without constantly referring to the letter/number labels on the
Oars.
In starboard-rigged boats, you will need to swap even and odd Oar
assignments.
B. Working with Multiple Boats
The on-screen instructions on the
Assign Oars
screen show how to
set up multiple small boats, each with a combination of up to 9 Oars, Gate
Angle Sensors, and Accelerometers per boat. Up to 19 Oars/devices can be
