Phoenix Diagnostics

AdvantageScope supports live-streaming of signals from Phoenix 6 devices with no setup in user code. This enables easy debugging and tuning of Phoenix devices using the familiar interface and full power of AdvantageScope:

• Flexible visualization options, including support for multiple axes and discrete fields
• Full support for unit-aware graphing, including implicit and one-click unit conversion (docs)
• Live preview of all values in the sidebar for easy browsing
• Support for plotting and signal preview from multiple devices simultaneously
• Decoding of enum values as human-readable strings (control modes, bridge status, CANcoder magnet state, etc)
• Integrated sidebar tooltips with descriptions and units for each signal
• Hierarchical organization of signals, grouped by CAN bus, device, and signal type
• Advanced data analysis with built-in integration and differentiation options (docs)
