    Of the two, only #2 is possible.

    Could you give us the whole sentence? What you are planning to say might be unnatural.
    Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
    Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.
    If you just want to know the meaning of a word, try OneLook Dictionary Search first.

    The whole sentence is "The vertical positions of the grid points on each axis are determined via the monitoring function".
