Meters

Fathom Overview > Meters

Meters provide an interface to external or internal sensors. You can refer to a meter value by name in any formula in a document.

Meters are commonly used as input to experiments. You can use meters to measure the atmospheric pressure at the time a certain liquid reaches its boiling point or the time when a car passed in front of the window in a traffic simulation.

Meters have their own inspector, which gives you control over the name and the axis.
