Contouring Levels
There are 20 contouring levels. They are ordered from top to bottom and left to right. The first two (No1 and 2) and final two (No 19 and 20) are entered into the edit boxes. Only numbers can be entered into these boxes. The contouring value of the remaining 16 contouring levels (No 3 to No 18) commence from the user selected Start Position at No 3 and incremented by the value of the Step for the remaining levels.
Turning Off the Contouring Levels
The contouring level is turned off by un-checking the check box adjacent to the contouring levels. Checking the check box enables that contouring level.
