A number of aspect screens are available, and some of the aspect screens have more than one page. Use the space bar to toggle between aspects and the PgUp, PgDn keys to toggle between pages of the same aspect. The Connection Overview and Settings Aspect screens are depicted below.

Displays the number of errors for each connection. Occasional errors may indicate noise but may also indicate a systematic error.
