How can I increase the number of points for the Q factor plot. Increasing the number of time monitors give much lower Q factor which is 16k. And changing the number of frequencies doesn&#8217;t affect the resolution. <span>I want to understand how the placement of the time monitors affect the simulation (number, positioning)<\/span>, and why with 4 monitors it gives me the right resultls but when I increase the number of monitors it is wrong.
