Event Presentation
On your terminal, one line of text is displayed for each event in the order received. The
most recent event is inserted at the bottom of the page, and older ones roll off the top of
the page. In this mode, the page that displays the 16 most recent event messages is
called the END page. You can review earlier pages by using the PREV PAGE (or
PG UP) and the NEXT PAGE (or PG DN) keys, or by entering a page number on the
option line and pressing F3.
Each of these earlier pages is 16 lines in length. By default, a total of 20 pages can be
scanned this way, as determined by the size of an event cache that you can configure to
some other number of pages. (The maximum is 750 pages.) Older event messages roll
off the end of the cache as new ones arrive; however, you can still review them by
accessing the copy retained in the event logs using historical mode. The cache exists to
provide you with quick access to some convenient number of recent messages.
The END page continues to be updated (invisibly if you are viewing some other earlier
page) as event messages are received. When you do view the END page, you can stop
the updates and consequent scrolling of the screen by using the Freeze function key (F8)
