It can be difficult to troubleshoot data on an embedded target while your application is running. In the same way a debugger helps you debug your application code, MPLAB Data Visualizer helps you debug your data. With MPLAB Data Visualizer, you can:

• See how key data points in your application change during runtime.

• Visualize values captured by a sensor on your development board.

MPLAB Data Visualizer has the following features:

• Visualize data from a running embedded target via the Data Gateway Interface (DGI) or virtual serial port (CDC).

• Concurrently debug target code and stream data.

• Decode data fields at runtime using the Data Stream Protocol format.

To install MPLAB-Data-Visualizer-Standalone-Beta(Windows), download this package and open it in IDE.

Supported Products: MPLAB X

Release Notes

Known Issues
DV-856 In Ubuntu, clicking on the Documentation Icon or pressing F1 might not launch the documentation in an external browser as expected. Workaround: Open the documentation directly from the installed location on disk.
DV-835 Linux: Cannot connect to ttyACM0 for streaming data. Workaround: add your user to the dialout group and log out, then log back in.
DV-807 Discarded data count under decoder statistics sometimes increases and resets to 0. This happens when data frames are split across multiple packets. When a full data frame is received, the discarded byte count resets back to 0.
DV-806 Plotted data can look distorted at certain zoom levels. This happens because the Visualizer reduces the resolution of old data as internal buffers fill up, in order to save memory.
DV-838 For CDC (virtual serial) connections, the only working baud rate on Windows and Linux at this time is 9600. There are no known limitations on macOS for baud rate.
