the Monitor

Now trigger the [Monitor] option or press [F5], and the Monitor Screen will appear looking something like this:

The AMOS Professional Monitor has been designed to perform all of the following tasks:

• To examine the instructions in a program, one at a time, and to display a report showing the result of what happens when its parameters have been evaluated. In other words, the Monitor can test any instruction in any program.
• To display HELP information regarding any selected instruction.
• To supply the result of any expression in the program, where possible. If there is an error in the expression, the offending line will be identified.
• To provide error message reports.

The Monitor screen is divided into four areas, as follows:

• The top left-hand quarter is the graphic output window.
• The top right-hand quarter is the control keypad.
• The central lower screen is the program listing window.
• The bottom lower screen is the information window.
