Set the Refresh Rate of a Monitor

You can set the refresh rate on the SNA network resources monitor.

When you first access the monitor, the monitor screen refreshes one second after an alert activity, as indicated at the top right of your screen. When many alert activities occur, the screen may refresh every second, causing interruptions. You can use the F6 (RefDelay) function key to increase this refresh delay interval or disable screen refresh.
