Controlling Console Output

In response to a command or a lengthy calculation, Thermo‑Calc may display a lot of text in the Console window. Use these keyboard shortcuts to pause, resume or stop a process.

• To pause the text on printing press <Ctrl+S>.

In Console Mode, sometimes the output overflows the window text buffer. This is how to increase the buffer size.

1. In the Console window right-click the tab to edit. For example, if this is the first tab, it is labeled Console 1.
2. Select Properties and either enter a number in the field or use the arrows to increase or decrease the Buffer size.
