ing the exercise session.
NOte: If you have selected to enlarge the screen by touching the <Magnifying Glass>, you must
return to the normal viewing screen format to make any changes.

route of the cursor on the grid. This feature can be used to visually illustrate a patient's positioning

13. At any time during the training session, the "tracing" can be erased by pressing <Clear
Tracing>.
