Sound like you're using the stock GUI or similar.

First, enter the speed into the TDC (this does not change).

Next, enter the AOB and make sure the TDC is on auto. As long as it's on auto (and you do not change course, and you keep the scope pointed at the target) the TDC will automatically adjust the AOB as the scope moves.

Range should ideally be the last thing you enter (because, unlike the AOB, the TDC does not automatically update it). IIRC, you can send the range from the notepad to the TDC without taking the TDC out of "Auto" mode.
