The Sensor Assistant keeps track of sensor alarms that have been triggered by changes to the model. It quickly accesses the affected sensor definition information so you can review it and fix the alarm or the model as needed.

You can activate or deactivate the Sensor Assistant and alarm notification in the graphic window using the Show Sensor Indicator option on the Helpers tab of the Tools→Options dialog box. This does not affect the operation of the sensors themselves.
