Introduction to Performance Monitor › Windowing

Windowing

Windowing lets you view multiple monitor screens at one time. Each monitor screen is displayed in its own window.

Additionally, with windowing, you can scroll through a row of data that is wider or longer than your terminal screen.

Window Display

The first line of each window displays a window number and window title. To the left of each window number is a single-character field (called the window command field) that you can use to type commands that apply to the window itself.

Default and Current Windows

The window in the upper-left corner of the window display area is the default window. If the cursor is positioned in the top three lines of the terminal screen, the default window is also the current window.

To make a window other than the default window current, position the cursor within the bounds of that window. All PF keys and top-line commands now apply to that window.

To establish a new default window, type the appropriate window number following the window prompt in the upper-right corner of the screen, and press [Enter]. Performance Monitor displays the window in the upper-left corner of the terminal screen, making it the new default window.

Note: Performance Monitor menu screens are always displayed in window 01.
