4. Take first range reading with stadimeter (click on red "send to TDC" button)
5. Wait at least 10 seconds
6. Take second range reading with stadimeter (click on red "send to TDC" button).
7. Click on Speed button, click on calculate button, (click on red "send to TDC" button).
This will produce a response in the dialogue box stating the targets' speed and course. Adjust AOB to match the stated course if required (use the PK to verify i.e. the PK target course indicator should change to match the AOB you input if you're doing it correctly).
Repeat the process as required.
Note: if you are not clicking on the red "send to TDC" button after each step then nothing is being entered into your TDC ergo "no data". You MUST send the info to the TDC.
This is NOT an exact science and you should not expect it to be. It takes a bit of practice. Conversely you could go with the Dick O'Kane method (do a search of the forums) which apparently simplifies the whole approach and takes the "computer" part out of the equation.
The stopwatch works fine for me, just click on the top winding 'button' of the stopwatch graphic to start and click it again to stop.
Hope this helps.
