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.
w The selection of computers to be included for Auto Scanning is
made with the Scan/Skip Mode setting under the F3 SET
function (see p. 4-7).
w The amount of time that each Port displays for is set with the
Scan Duration setting under the F3 SET function (see p. 4-7).
w 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.
w 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.
w 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 Invoking Auto Scan, p. 3-4,
for details.
w When you want to permanently stop scanning at a particular
location, press the [Spacebar] to stop scanning and exit Auto
Scan Mode.
w To exit Auto Scan Mode, press the [Spacebar] or [Esc].
