This option allows the user to set the position of the observation.

  • Spherical observation. If the position of the source has been defined in spherical coordinates, this option will be available. It is possible to define a parametric sweep for one variable (radius, theta or phi) selecting the check box Source Position Sweep. The initial value for R, theta and phi have to be specified.
    • Final value final value for the chosen variable (R, theta or phi).
    • Samples number of samples.

  • Cartesian observation. If the position of the source has been defined in Cartesian coordinates, this option will be available. It is possible to define a parametric sweep on t selecting the check box Sweep on 't'. The coordinates x, y and z can be defined with a function which values could depend on the parameter 't'. The initial value for R, theta and phi have to be specified.
    • Initial 't' the initial value for t.
    • Final 't' the final value for t.
    • Samples on 't' number of samples.
