This screen provides the current tide conditions for the tide constants
indicated in the upper left hand corner. The number in the upper left
corner of the window is the identification number of this table in the
British Admiralty Tide Table
and in the
TIDE2
screen. The name to the
right of this number is the port name you entered in the
TIDE2
screen.
A graphical representation of the tide is given in the middle of the
screen. The tide peak references are given to the right of the High/Low
