Section 3 - Screen Overview and Operation
When Smart Tow is not active, the RPM sweep display is white. Smart Tow will modify the color of the RPM sweep display to
orange when active.

Smart Tow Overview Panel

Smart Tow will display an overview panel before launching Smart Tow for the first time. This screen will remain visible for a
short time. The overview panel provides instructions on how to navigate the Smart Tow screen. You can either hide help,
continue, or exit out of the Smart Tow feature from this screen.
• When HIDE HELP is chosen, the help screen will not appear during the next launch cycle and the system will continue to
launch the Smart Tow default screen.
• CONTINUE will launch the default Smart Tow screen and keep the Overview page in the launch sequence the next time
Smart Tow is launched.
• X will exit the Smart Tow option.
Smart Tow User‑Selected Data Area
The default Smart Tow screen allows you to select, set, and modify settings in the Smart Tow features. The launch graph dot is
animated when Smart Tow is active and performing a launch sequence. The dot will move along the launch path showing what
part of the launch sequence the system is performing.

Navigation

Smart Tow utilizes the user‑selected data area and the footer section of this area to allow you to adjust the settings. The pages
button moves the selection box through the fields. The footer section allows you to enable or disable Smart Tow, save, or exit.
There are five selection tabs. The pages button will scroll through the profile selection, RPM/speed set point, and enable/
disable. When the selection tab is on enable, the arrow keys change the selection to save or exit (X).
• The items located in the footer area require the enter button to be pressed to accept the selection.
