F7: SCAN
Pressing [F7] invokes Auto Scan Mode. This function allows you to
automatically switch among the available computers at regular intervals so that
you can monitor their activity without having to take the trouble of switching
yourself.
The selection of computers to be included for Auto Scanning is made with
the Scan Mode setting under the F3 SET function (see page 25).
The amount of time that each Port displays for is set with the Scan
Duration setting under the F3 SET function (see page 25). When you
want to stop at a particular location, press the [Spacebar] to stop scanning.
If the scanning stops on an empty port, or one where the computer is
attached but is powered Off, the monitor screen will be blank, and the
mouse and keyboard will have no effect. After the Scan Duration time is
up, the Scan function will move on to the next port.
As each computer is accessed, an S appears in front of the Port ID display
to indicate that it is being accessed under Auto Scan Mode.
While Auto Scan Mode is in effect, the console will not function normally.
You must exit Auto Scan Mode in order to regain control of the console.
To exit Auto Scan Mode, press the [Spacebar] or [Esc].
