‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘TAB’

 - selects the next active channel if the ADDERview has been

set to scan active ports (see section 2.5, option switch 2). Selects the next
numbered channel in sequence if the ADDERview is set to scan all ports.

‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘A’

 - selects auto-scan mode where each channel is displayed in

turn for a selected time. The ADDERview can be set to scan all ports or just the
active ports. The video from each CPU is displayed for 2 or 5 seconds according to
the option switch settings (see section 2.5). To cancel auto-scan mode simply select
any fixed channel either by using the hotkeys or the ADDERview’s button.

‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘0’

 - Disables the ADDERview's shared video and switches all the

channel lights off. The video can be re-enabled by selecting a channel.

3.5 Mouse control

The channels can conveniently be changed on ADDERview by using a three button
mouse. In order to switch to the next channel simply hold down the central mouse
button (the wheel mouse button on an IntelliMouse) and click on the left hand mouse
button. The channel will then change. If the ADDERview has been set to scan active
ports then the next active channel will be selected. If it has been set to scan all ports
then the next numerical channel in sequence will be selected
