We solve numerically the wave equation on a fixed background space-time corresponding to 1+1 Minkowski space-time. In this case we use scri-fixing conformal compactifications and solve the wave equation on the conformal space-time. We draw space-time and conformal diagrams in order to describe the consistency of the results and the effects of the gauge choices. We are interested in containg g{sup +} in the numerical domain because such boundary is the future boundary of the wave function.
