The Grid Monitor is, as the name suggests, purely for monitoring what goes on in your terrain setup.

The Grid Monitor can be opened via a command in the TerraformFX menu, or by clicking the new Open Monitor button in any operator's (or tfTerrain's) Preview tab.

When opened from an operator’s Preview tab, the Grid Monitor will automatically bring up the height map from that operator.

The Source parameter will then be available, to select between Altitude or Slope and Difference Map settings.
