How to select the engine stage to inspect:
The FutureDrive will come pre-programmed for the applicable engine. The unit
knows all the engine’s stages, blade counts, the torque required to turn the
engine, and other information. When the unit is powered on, it will remember
the selected stage from the previous time the unit was used.

How to move the blade in the borescope view:
The jog function allows for positioning of the blades per user preference in how
they’re viewed via borescope. SET VIEW POS will lock this position in, and the
FutureDrive will always stop at this same position for each blade viewed in this
stage. Use JOG and SET VIEW POS for each stage.
When using SET VIEW POS, the current blade will become blade 1 for this
stage.
