OSC Magnify

Use the Magnify OSC function to magnify or shrink OSC window contents. This

function is useful when you want information displayed with larger or smaller fonts and

icons.

OSC Show Date

Use the Date function to display or hide the date in the object state change log. When

you initially start ASAP, date information in the OSC log is redundant. However, after

several days, depending on how you use the OSC view, you might want to display both

the date and time of state changes.

OSC Show Score Board

Use the Show Scoreboard function to display or hide the scoreboard in the OSC

window.

This view helps you track the number of state changes that occur over long periods of

time. You can clear selected state change counts for selected object types and states

by using the Remove Selected, Remove Above, or Remove All functions.

When the scoreboard is enabled, an annotated matrix summarizes the number of state

changes that have occurred for each entity type and state. If Show Tips is enabled,

color-coded hypertext appears as you move your mouse over various regions of the

scoreboard.

The scoreboard contains a row for each type of entity monitored and a column for each

state monitored. The minimum state monitored in the OSC scoreboard is controlled by

the Minimum State Change Monitored option on the OSC tab of the ASAP Properties

window. The Entity Tab of the ASAP Properties window controls entities that appear in

the OSC scoreboard.

When you select an element in the scoreboard, the OSC log is searched for all Object

State Changes that match the selected Entity type and state. For example, if you click

the cell that intersects the Disk row and the Down column, ASAP automatically selects

all Down object state changes that have occurred on all disk drives.

To select all state changes for a given entity, click the entity icon in the first column of

the scoreboard. For example, if you click the CPU icon, all state changes for the CPU

entity are selected. You can then use the Ack and Remove functions on the selected

items.
