The software will load the engine and you'll get a dialogue to that effect. For a minute
or so it'll look like nothing's going on, but then you'll see the tree view (your former
Notation pane) become populated with data
This looks a lot like the game tree/opening book display with which you're already
acquainted. This one acts a bit differently in the data it displays. You still have "N" for
the number of games played (ten so far when I took this screen shot) and a numerical
percentage of how well the move did from White's perspective.

Note that you can actually play through the moves of the tree while it's still being
generated, too. Use the cursor keys on your keyboard to navigate through the moves
(left and right to move forward and backward, up and down to select a move when
multiple moves are displayed).
This display reminds us of the engine which is being used for the analysis and the
search depth we set at the start of the process. We see how many games have been
played so far and the results of those games.
You can let Monte Carlo analysis run for as long as you like. Remember that the more
games you let the engine play, the more reliable will be the statistical results.
To stop the Monte Carlo analysis, click the "Stop" button (the little red button with
the white "x" in the upper left corner of the Monte Carlo analysis screen). You'll see a
popup dialogue asking if you wish to save the tree which the analysis generated.
