4.4Autoscan ‘lock on’ mode and delay time

LINDY CPU Switch can be set to select each channel in turn for a period of time set by the Autoscan delay time. Autoscan mode is entered by typing the hotkey keys together with $. By default, only those channels which have a powered up computer connected to them will be scanned. Sometimes it may be desirable to scan all channels, even if the attached computer is switched off (this will simply show a blank screen when it is selected). All the LINDY CPU Switch’s ports will be scanned if option L2 is selected. Some applications may also require the LINDY CPU Switch to power on in autoscan mode. This feature can be selected using the L3 or L4 options.

NOTE: Autoscan mode is ended simply by selecting a fixed channel using the on-screen menu, the keypad, the keyboard hotkeys or the mouse.

Many modern monitors are fitted with automatic power save relays and will switch off after a few seconds if connected to an inactive PC. If you are using such a monitor you must not use the L2 feature. Constant switching on and off of your monitor's relay will eventually damage your monitor.
