 ## Tracking
 
 The typical use of multiplexers is to implement the tracking modes of channels.

+As an example, the following diagram shows two multiplexers used to implement
 the subsystem view of [Nanos6](../nanos6):
 
-![Patch bay](fig/mux.svg)
+![Mux example](fig/mux.svg)
 
-The first mux0 uses the thread state channel to filter the value of the
-subsystem channel and only pass it to the output when the thread is in the
-Running state (green). Then the filtered subsystem channel is connected to an
-input of a second mux (mux1) which selects the current input of the thread
-running in the CPU0. The output *nanos6.cpu.subsystem.run* is then connected to
-the Paraver timeline in the row corresponding to the CPU0, which shows the
-subsystem of the currently running thread.
+The first mux0 selects the input corresponding to the thread running in that
+CPU (thread0), and forwards the value to the output. If no thread is running the
+output is set to null. The output channel *nanos6.cpu0.subsystem.run* is then
+connected to the Paraver timeline in the row corresponding to the CPU0, which
+shows the subsystem of the currently **running** thread.
 
-The Nanos6 subsystem channel is also connected to the mux2, which forwards the
-value to the output only when the thread state is Active. The output is directly
-connected to the Paraver row assigned to that thread. This channels shows the
-subsystem of the thread by only when is active (not paused nor dead). You can
-see that the subsystem is shown in the thread0 at the current time (red dotted
-line) when in the CPU0 the subsystem has been hidden when the thread stops being
-in the Running state (yellow). 
+The Nanos6 subsystem channel is also connected to the second mux1, which forwards the

+
+![Mux example](fig/mux1.svg)
+
+Notice that when the thread0 is no longer Running (switches to the Cooling
+state shown in yellow) the CPU subsystem timeline no longer shows the subsystem,
+as the mux0 is not selecting any input (because there are no threads in the CPU0
+in the Running state at that moment).
+
+However, the thread view still shows the subsystem, as the thread0 is still 
+active (not paused yet). The mux1 is still selecting the thread subsystem
+channel as input.
+
+## Separation of concerns
 
 Multiplexers allow models to interact with each other in a controlled way. In
 the example, the blue channel (*nanos6.thread0.subsystem*) is directly modified by
 the Nanos6 model when a new event is received. While the red channels are
-controled by the ovni model.  The rest of the channels are automatically updated
+controlled by the ovni model.  The rest of the channels are automatically updated
 in the propagation phase of the [bay](../patchbay) allowing the ovni model to
 modify the Nanos6 Paraver view of the subsystems.
