Not what I expected

I was expecting to be able to ‘turn’ the knob, or something, so that I could look for certain occurrences for instance.
I thought it was 3-D, so that you could see the gears, etc.
The help that is there is okay, but is missing a lot. What are each of the pointers, dials, etc.? How do you use the mechanism’s user manual?
