Rows to display is number of rows that show at one time in display; SEASAVE uses this to determine vertical size of
display. Total rows is total number of rows in display; if Total rows > Rows to display, display will have scroll bar to enable
user to view more data (you can later resize display manually as desired using standard Windows drag methods).
Adjust column width by
placing mouse cursor
over line and dragging.
Note:
To minimize column width,
SEASAVE uses abbreviations for
the Scrolled Display headings. For
example, Depth [salt water, m] is
abbreviated as DepSM (S for salt
water, M for metric units).
