How do you use the pace boat?

I've been rowing for about a month, mostly doing 30 minute workouts and using the Just Row settin (on a PM3). But I'd like some way to keep me rowing at the same intensity throughout and also challenge me some.
This is what I figured the pace boat is for, but I can't get it to do that. It always goes at the same speed I'm rowing, and the instructions to make it do anything else aren't particularly clear. Can someone explain how it works? For example, if I want to go 6000 meters in 30 minutes. I'd like to have the pace boat go at that speed and force me to keep up. (And I'd like to be able to tweak the speed up or down during the workout, if the system allows it).
Or if this isn't what the pace boat is for, is there some other way to get the PM to do what I want? Now, if I have a goal I want to hit, I have to keep doing math in my head to know if I'm going at the right speed.
