-It is reasonable to save your parameter file at this stage using <i>File->​Save</i> command. We can do it also later, just before running computation,​ however doing it right now will set the current directory and other input/​output files set later can be referred to it (instead of using absolute path). Moreover, by saving parameter file we also set default directory for temporary files (e.g. generated sources), which is also important.+It is reasonable to save your parameter file at this stage using //File->​Save/​command.

 First we will add **point source**. This can be done using menu entry //Edit parameters->​Add point source//. First we will add **point source**. This can be done using menu entry //Edit parameters->​Add point source//.

-Next we will add <b>point and image outputs</b>. This is done by menu entry //Edit parameters->​Add point output// and //Edit parameters->​Add image output// that again open dialogues for specifying how often (parameter "​skip"​) and which component should be output. Point output is collected from a single point within computational volume and is stored into a text file. Image output comes to general output file that can be opened by [[http://​gwyddion.net|Gwyddion]] open source software. A cross section in certain normal direction is output, selected as shown below. We will add a cross section in every direction, so we will call the dialog three times.+Next we will add **point and image outputs**.
