• F2 Scan:
Pressing [F2] initiates the Quick View Scan Mode, in which the OSD cycles through all the ports that have been selected for Quick View Scanning (see F4, below), and displays each one for the amount of time set with the Set Scan Duration function (see F6, below). When you want to stop at a particular location, press any key to stop scanning.
Note: (1) If the scanning stops on an empty port, or one where the computer is attached but is powered Off, the monitor screen will be blank, and the mouse and keyboard will have no effect. To recover, key in the Hot Key sequence (see Hot Key Selection, above), for any Port ID that has an active PC attached.
(2)As the OSD cycles through the selected ports, an S appears in front of the Port ID display as each computer is accessed to indicate that the computer is being accessed under Quick View Scan Mode.
