Monitor

This section describes software monitors.

Currently, the software provides different types of monitors to record (or process) various simulation data.

After adding a solver, the solver tab will automatically appear, which contains various monitors. Users can select the desired monitor. Click on the Composite viewer to add a monitor and complete relevant settings for the monitor in the automatically pop-up properties editing interface.

Software supports adding and editing monitors using scripts, as shown in Script for Script.

Monitor

Use Time monitor to record time-domain field signal $\boldsymbol{E}(t)$ ;
Use Index monitor to record material distribution at the observation plane $\widetilde{N}(f)$ ;
Use Frequency domain field and power(FDFP) monitor to record frequency-domain field $\boldsymbol{E}(f)$ .

Monitor Setting

Geometric dimensions

Name	Description
Use relative coordinate	Check to select relative coordinates.
Spatial type	Geometry type of monitor space.
X/Y/Z pos	Set center coordinates of the monitor.
X/Y/Z span	Set range of the monitor.

Software provides the most basic types of monitors.

In some cases, it may be necessary to use multiple monitors to achieve specific customization needs, such as:
