Figure: Add a Monitor shows a basic simulator screen that consists of three monitors and one interferer. The monitors are shown in red and the interferer is shown in yellow.
1. On the map, right-click a desired monitor location. A context menu is displayed.
2. Click Copy Coordinates to Clipboard.
3. In the GPS Coordinates column, slide the mouse over a latitude and as shown. This will perform the copy coordinate function.
Note that the coordinates for monitor ports 5 through 24 are positioned beyond the zoomed-in map and will not display.

The screen below shows four red monitors: Port A, Port B, Port C, and Port D. The interferers are added by double-clicking a position on the map. Shown below, the active interferer is yellow with a black square in the middle. The Coordinates for this interferer are displayed in the Interferer 1 Configuration window and also in the Source 1 Window. The frequency is typed in as 601 MHz so it shows within the Port Scanner bandwidth display. Changing other Interferer 1 Configuration parameters will also be displayed on the Port Scanner window.
