To select the previous target device:
Press Print Screen and then Backspace. This key combination toggles you between the previous and current connections.

Soft switching
Soft switching is the ability to switch target devices using a hotkey sequence. You can soft switch to a target device by pressing Print Screen and then typing the first few characters of its name or number. If you have set a Screen Delay Time and you press the key sequences before that time has elapsed, the OSCAR interface will not display.
To soft switch to a target device:
Press Print Screen. If the display order of the Main dialog is by port (the Port button is depressed), type the port number and press Enter.
If the display order of the Main dialog is by name (the Name button is depressed), type the first few letters of the name of the target device to establish it as unique and press Enter.
To switch back to the previous target device, press Print Screen then Backspace.
