Abstract
This note describes the features of a monitoring facility (called a software oscilloscope) installed on the Burroughs B1800 Modula Interpreter developed at ANU for use with the JAS operating system project [Hurst 83]. It allows dynamic monitoring of program behaviour at the source level, and provides a ready means for the evaluation of real time program behaviour.
