The simulator supports the user by a visual output display interface that provides the possibility of tracing the flow of the protocol execution. This interface prints on the display (xterm) a fixed number of windows that contain information about the current protocol execution and also provides to the user the flexibility of interactively changing the frequency of the display updates. The output display interface will be activated only if the display option is chosen in the invocation of the simulator. Below is a descrition of these windows and the information that appears there.
