Scanning PCs
The scanning feature allows you to automatically monitor, or scan, each PC in your SwitchView system. If you use the keyboard during scanning, the scan will pause until you finish, then resume with the next PC. The length of time each PC’s video remains on the screen, or dwell time, can be changed at any time. Scanning will be halted if the Halt command is entered or if another PC is selected.
