Control the Displays

Once you have started a character-cell display, you can control the display and its characteristics with commands.

The following table shows the Performance Manager character-cell commands available at the PSRT> prompt. These commands control which displays and metrics are shown on the terminal.

The keypad keys perform other functions such as selecting users, nodes, and metrics for display, and controlling the playback of data.
