Pitch map

Select the Pitch Impact tab. The values on the X- and Y-axes are in millimetres, and -0 is middle stump.
Enter the zones you want and click OK.

Beehive

Select the Beehive tab. Again, the values are in millimetres and -0 is middle stump. This tab also has tick boxes to show wide markers in the coding window and on all beehive displays.
Enter the zones you want and click OK.

To split the beehive into line, plus above and below the stumps, use these settings. 724 mm on the Y-axis is the height of the stumps including the bails.

Wagon wheel

On the Main tab, adjust the zones in the Zone map area.

Good to know

Every box on the Pitch Impact and Beehive tabs must be filled in. Analyzer shows an error message for anything missing or invalid.
The Main tab also controls what's overlaid on the pitch map, beehive and wagon wheel: for example runs, strike rate or deliveries, as counts or percentages.
Display Mode on the Main tab switches between the coded data and the imported (ball-tracking) data.
