Stopwatch querie

A while ago I had the pleasure of sinking my first ship with the manual input only option ON! I have tried it before but although I understand the basics (maybe not some of the complexities just yet) I've never been quick enough to get it all done—and then, usually, work out what I did wrong and correct it when it isn't behaving as it should.

So, some degree of success BUT, and here's my question please folks—

The stop-watch in the Speed area of the notepad? It's sort of a short cut right? But what about the little diagram thing at the top: that clearly indicates using the ship length technique but does it input the data automatically or what?

I've looked at video tutorials and read and studied other tutorials but I don't recall anyone mentioning this part of the notepad (I've even looked in the basic manual!)—or maybe I just misunderstood and missed it, which is a possibility. Which reminds me; I'm not really a blogging/youtube-ing/whatever-else-ing sort of person so this may be a dumb question, but if you don't ask. . . . as my Mum always said.

There's a lot of posts with links to the communitymanuals.com. Whenever I go there all I get is a big bunch of ads wanting to sell me stuff I'm not interested in. No matter which link I try (Most Common Searches etc) I just get more ads. Bummer.

I'm still on the box-set, no mods, by the way.
