There's no Tri-X selection possible in the B&W film choices.
It doesn't matter much what you take but I use Tmax  + a choice of the 
Tmax development list..
I have gathered my information mainly from the helpfiles while working 
with it, quite good I have to say.
I could send you my saved option for 35mm B&W but it isn't very special.
