F7 SCAN
The SCAN 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 manually.
Š The selection of computers to be included for Auto Scanning is made with
the Scan/Skip Mode setting under the F3 SET function (see page 28).
Š The amount of time that each Port displays for is set with the Scan
Duration setting under the F3 SET function (see page 28).
Š 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. Simply wait – after the Scan
Duration time is up, the Scan function will move on to the next port.
Š 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.
Š If you want to temporarily keep the focus on a particular computer, you
can pause the scanning either by pressing P, or with a left click of the
mouse. See Auto Scan Mode, page 36, for details.
Š When you want to permanently stop scanning at a particular location,
press the [Spacebar] or [Esc] to stop scanning and exit Auto Scan Mode.
Š 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.
Š To exit Auto Scan Mode, press the [Spacebar] or [Esc].
