Scaled Distance window, and the Scaled Distance dialog box remains open. You can then add
more Events to your scaled distance file.
When you first select the New command after starting Blastware, all the settings in the Edit
Scaled Distance Record dialog box are blank, except for the date, which is copied from the
settings on your PC. Once you have entered data for one Event and clicked OK, however,
Blastware will use the data for that Event as the default values for your next Event. This feature
makes it easier to rapidly enter a series of Events.
