Owner Defined Measurements
You can use this tab to specify special measurements you want to take during
a passage. Select the measurement type first, then the default unit of measure.
Give this measurement a label that will appear on the main form within the Trip
tabs. When you are recording a trip, you will be able to record values for these
measurements. You do not need to use all 10 possible items. Delete all
characters in the label field from the unused ones. You can clear a label entry
by blocking it and pressing the backspace key or by putting the cursor at the
beginning of the field and pressing the Delete key until all the characters are
deleted. A quick way to clear them all is to tab to the entry, press the
backspace key, and then tabbing to the next entry. Blank rows will be
automatically removed by BoatExec.
The normal value is used as the default value for new entries. As you record
a set of measurements, you will be warned if you go over your specified limits.
If both upper and lower limits are zero, then no limit checking will be
performed.
