LambdaPlotter

Features

• Lightweight and Fast: Built with modern C++ for high performance and low resource usage.
• Cross-Platform: Runs natively on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
• Advanced Serial Configuration: Configure low-level serial port settings, like parity, stop bits, and more.
• Custom Data Formatting: A powerful formatting tool lets you parse virtually any data stream by defining frame endings and value separators.
• Channel-Based Plotting: Plot multiple variables simultaneously. Each channel can be customized with its own name, color, scale, and offset.
• Interactive Plots: Powered by ImPlot, plots can be panned, zoomed, and inspected in real-time.
• Data Export: Save the captured plot data to a .csv file for analysis in other tools.

Getting Started

The easiest way to use LambdaPlotter is to download the latest pre-built release for your operating system:

Basic Usage

1. Connect your device (e.g., Arduino, ESP32) that is sending serial data.
2. Launch LambdaPlotter.
3. Configure the Serial Port: Select the correct Serial Port and set the Baud Rate to match your device.
4. Define the Data Format: This is the most important step. You must tell LambdaPlotter how your data is structured.
   • Frame End: The character(s) that mark the end of a complete data packet (e.g., `\n` for a newline).
   • Channel Separator: The character that separates different channels  (e.g., `,` or ` `).
   • Named Channels: Check this if your data includes names for each value.
     • Name Separator: The character(s) that separates names from values (e.g., `:`)
5. Click the 'Play' button to begin plotting!
