The CAD status monitors play a critical role in the overall operation of a CAD system. From the status monitors the user can, at a glance, see an entire picture of what is happening. There are two primary types of status monitors; the Unit Status monitor and the Event Status monitor. Status monitors may be resized as desired to display more data or fit on your monitor. Additionally status monitors may be placed on your Windows Desktop, so that they may be placed on a different physical monitor for systems where dual or multiple display monitors are being utilized. Depending on your situation you may choose to have more than one of each of these status monitors open. Since each type of monitor can be configured to show different data it may operationally be easier for you to have a separate monitor for different types of units or different types of events. While this is possible, having too many status monitor widows open at the same time on the same computer can impact the overall performance of the system and should be avoided when possible. In even the busiest of communications centers it is rare for a single dispatcher to have more than 3 or 4 status monitors active at once.
