Using Scan Mode
NOTE: Scan mode is not available when using the Topology Unit View window.
When the checkboxes of two or more target devices are selected in the DSView Explorer, the Scan
button will become available. If the Scan button is clicked, Scan mode will be started and the Video
Viewer windows will appear in the Thumbnail Viewer. A series of thumbnail frames appear in the
Thumbnail Viewer, each containing a small, scaled, non-interactive version of a target device
screen image.
The Scan mode moves from one thumbnail image to the next, logging into a device and displaying
an updated device image for a specified length of time (View Time Per Server), before logging out
of that device and moving on to the next thumbnail image. You may also specify a scan delay
