Disable DAX button when Monitor button is Enabled

I'm not sure if this should be categorized as an Idea or a Problem, so out of caution, I'm posting this as an Idea.
Much confusion occurs in the GUI when presenting the user with invalid combinations. Such apparent invalid combination is when both the Monitor and DAX button are enabled. Whether this is a bug or an intentional design, both DAX and Monitor features are currently mutually exclusive of each other during operation.
My recommendation would be: If the Monitor button is enabled and the user presses the DAX button, programmatically deactivate the Monitor button. Vice versa, if the DAX button is enabled and the user enables the Monitor, programmatically deactivate the DAX button.
Good GUI design prohibits presenting the user with an invalid selection or an invalid combination of selections.

I'm with you on that, Jay. It took me a while to figure out that DAX and MON were mutually exclusive.
I would still like to figure out a way to monitor with DAX on, maybe through the PC.
