Data on screen
Process Status
field
This field shows how much the rod design has been proceeded.
Alphabet in this field is corresponding to the short-cut key name of each function button
on the Archive panel.
When the rod specification is modified, in such cases as Rod Type is
changed, or as other spec. is changed, this field is set to initial status of
"AB--------".
This is to keep the integrity between the archived rod specification and the result of
calculations. So, when the rod specs. for a rod were changed, DynaRod will nullify
all the existing calculation results for the rod. Actually, though calculation
results remains in data folder as excel files, DynaRod panels will work as if there is no
such things.

*1: In calculation for Boat Rod, it is not assumed that the
rod is in casting. When calculating the moment values, both of gravity (vertical)
and acceleration (any direction) are taken into account as the causes of rod moment for
fly rod and lure rod since these rods are used holding vertically. In boat rod case,
only one (vertical) direction of acceleration (usually =1G) is taken into account as the
cause of moment, which is usually 1 as a static rod.
Combo box data
Often combo box carries enough selection of numbers to complete an
input field but user can neglect the predefined entries and type in the numbers for most
of combo boxes.
