powered-ON remains active while in use until it becomes idle for the configured dwell time (default time-out period is 5 seconds)
before switching to the next powered-ON CPU port. See Command Mode section above for configuring the scan dwell time.
To deactivate Scan Mode, press <S> from the Command Mode menu again.
