The component \textbf{L\_monitor} is very similar to
\textbf{TOF\_monitor} and \textbf{E\_monitor}.
This component is just sensitive to the neutron wavelength.
The wavelength spectrum is output in a one-dimensional histogram.
between $\lambda_\textrm{min}$ and $\lambda_\textrm{max}$ (measured in \AA ).

As for the two other 1-dimensional monitors, this component outputs
the total counts and a file with the histogram.
