Monitors

Overview

The Monitors section of the cee API provides functions for interacting with and controlling monitor devices and terminal screens in CC: Computer Energetics.

Calling Conventions / Prefixes

Monitor handles are obtained via methods like cee.getMonitor(pin, n) or cee.getMonitors(pin), and methods are called directly on the returned terminal handle:

local monitor = cee.getMonitor(1, 1)
monitor.clear()
