# 3.2.10. Terminal parameters¶

The terminal is an observer module that reads and display the monitor informations in real time. The terminal displays two types of results: intermediate results and final results. The intermediate results are printed on the error output during the simulation of a noise point and refreshed at a defined frequency (see the --ter-freq parameter). On the other hand, the final results are printed on the standard output once the simulation of the noise point is over.

## 3.2.10.1. --ter-type¶

Type: text STD STD --ter-type STD

Select the terminal type (the format to display the results).

Description of the allowed values:

Value Description
STD Select the standard format.

Note

For more details on the standard output format see the Output section).

## 3.2.10.2. --ter-freq¶

Type: integer 500 --ter-freq 1

Set the display frequency (refresh time) of the intermediate results in milliseconds. Setting 0 disables the display of the intermediate results.

Note

When MPI is enabled, this value is by default set to the same value than the --mnt-mpi-comm-freq parameter.

## 3.2.10.3. --ter-no¶

Disable completely the terminal report.

## 3.2.10.4. --ter-sigma¶

Show the standard deviation ($$\sigma$$) of the Gaussian/Normal distribution in the terminal.

Note

Work only if the --sim-noise-type, -E parameter is set to EBN0 or ESNO.
