Monitors

The frame "Monitors" contains a table with the list of inputted monitors. Adding (editing) monitors is performed in the "New monitors" dialog window.

Either point or line-monitors can be introduced. The dialog window then serves to specify coordinates of the monitor and monitor activity.

The monitors can also be introduced using the mouse. This inputting mode is activated by clicking an appropriate button on the horizontal tool bar "Monitors". The following modes are available:

  • Add
 The monitor is introduced by clicking the left mouse button at a desired location on the desktop.
  • Modify
 Clicking the left mouse button on already existing monitor opens the "Adjust monitor" dialog window, which allows for modifying its parameters.
  • Remove
 Clicking the left mouse button on already existing monitor opens the monitor removal dialog window – accepting this action removes the selected free point.

The monitors can also be edited on the desktop with the help of active objects.

The program allows for inputting an arbitrary number of point and line-monitors anywhere in the structure and also out of it. Monitors have several functions:

displaying values of variables in a given point (point-monitor)
displaying values of the difference of distance of two points in comparison with the previous stage d[N] or in comparison with the input stage, where N is the stage number (line-monitor)

The list of variables plotted for individual monitors is set in the "Monitor settings" dialog window. To open the window use the "Settings" button in the horizontal tool bar "Monitors".
