Auto-Scrolling mode

The automatic scrolling mode enables movement through the file with the following principles:-

  • New lines are displayed at the bottom of the screen and older lines disappear at the top.
  • New lines appear at a fixed rate.

Entering this mode is obtained via F8 or the button if the scrolling mode is off, or with the -s option specified in the Event Editor process launching parameters.
Exiting this mode is achieved by striking F8 or the button.


Auto-End mode

The Auto-End scrolling mode is based on the same principle as the Auto-Scroll mode. It has an end-of-file automatic positioning function and re-synchronises the display every second.

Entering this mode is obtained via Shift+F8 or the button if the scrolling mode is off, or with the -z option specified in the Event Editor process launching parameters.
Exiting this mode is achieved by striking Shift+F8 or the button.
