The wavelength sensitive monitor
The component L_monitor is very similar to E_monitor. This component is just sensitive to the xray wavelength. The wavelength spectrum is output in a one-dimensional histogram. between \(\lambda _\mathrm {min}\) and \(\lambda _\mathrm {max}\) (measured in Å).
As for the two other 1-dimensional monitors, this component outputs the total counts and a file with the histogram.
