If you enter those numbers into the TDC (periscope dial at zero, AOB at 90 degrees port) and then click the manual/auto TDC button to make the light go red, as you move the periscope the AOB setting will follow. The numbers below are examples as to how the periscope dial and AOB dial are locked together when auto TDC is enabled.

Bearing 0 - AOB 90
Bearing 350 - AOB 100
Bearing 340 - AOB 110

Thanks,

Would I be correct in saying then, based on what you've said, that after you've put your info in....you then switch the TDC to auto so it "takes" over the changes in calculations??
