(please see screen limitations below)
The Discovery screen displays a pictorial representation of what processes communicate "into" and "out of" the specified process.
The screen starts empty. A process name is entered, or selected using a picker, and then press Request. The entered process is displayed in the middle of the screen. After a short measurement interval processes communicating to the specified process are displayed along the top of the screen. Processes that the selected process is communicating to are displayed along the bottom of the screen.
Place the mouse on the screen background, left-click and hold to drag the screen (i.e. move it around).
Place the mouse over an entry, right-click and select previous or next to display additional information. In the image below previous was selected.
Colors are used to distinguish various process types. Press the Legend button for process types.
Place the mouse over an entry to display additional information.

Screen limitations
This screen uses the MEASURE File entity primarily to obtain its information and to determine relationships. This works 'best' if direct I/O (i.e. open/write/read/etc...) is involved. However, if a process uses Pathsend for its I/O the LINKMON or ROUT processes effectively masks the real underlying I/O.
Unnamed processes also restrict the amount of information available from MEASURE.
