5.59 PANRATE (Console refresh rate)

5.59.3 Parameter

SLOW

SLOW is a synonym for a Hercules hardware console refresh rate of 500 millise-
conds. This is also the default, if PANRATE is not specified.

FAST

FAST is a synonym for a Hercules hardware console refresh rate of 50 millise-
conds.

rate

Any value between 1 (10) and 5000 milliseconds. A value less than the Linux sys-
tem clock tick interval (10 on Intel platforms, 1 on Alpha platforms) or a value of
more than 5000 will be rejected.

5.59.4 Examples

Example 1:

Set the panel refresh rate to 1 second.
