Auto scanning
The auto-scan feature switches between the connected computers, in sequence, at
a pre-defined rate.
(See Table 2, Auto-scan Time T x)
There are two scanning mode options, cycle all ports and cycle only the active ports.
The auto-scan mode option is set in the User Preference, U 7 or U 8 section (See
Table 2).
When option U 8 is selected (Cycle only active ports) when you use the mouse
button or the h tab to change channels, only channels that have an active
computer connected will display, un-active channels will be skipped.
To start the auto-scan mode, using the user console keyboard, press Ctrl + Alt + X.
Scanning will start at the pre-defined rate (T x) and all or only active channels will be
displayed depending on the User Preference setting (U 7 or U 8).
To stop the auto-scanning, press the “COMPUTER” button on the front panel or
select a specific channel using the channel number.
