Built around the live engineering workflow # Everything you need to connect, inspect, analyze, and define VITA 49 packet streams. VITA Viewer combines native stream transport, packet-level inspection, signal visualization, and custom decoder authoring in a single desktop application. Download the app See every feature 01 STREAMS ## Native transport with live operational context. Connect the desktop app directly to UDP multicast, UDP unicast, and TCP producers. VITA Viewer maintains source state, transport lifecycle events, rolling metrics, and bounded packet samples. - Interface, bind address, port, buffer, timeout, and reconnect controls - Connect, disconnect, reset, filter, sort, import, and export source definitions - Packet rate, bit rate, byte count, uptime, dropped, malformed, and sequence-error metrics - Rolling activity charts, filtered event history, CSV packet export, and log export - Batched packet delivery and a dedicated decode worker for responsive live monitoring STREAM CONTROL / LIVE INPUT Source workspace Native UDP/TCP Import Connect all + Add source CONFIGURED 4 3 UDP · 1 TCP CONNECTED 2 2 sources live PACKET RATE 24.6 kpps Across active sources DATA RATE 82.4 Mbps 13.8 MiB received ERRORS 0 Healthy transport SOURCE REGISTRY Configured sources 4 SOURCES ⌕ Search name, host, endpoint… All statuses⌄ UDP + TCP⌄ Status Source Endpoint Protocol Packet rate Connected Primary IF stream Automatic VITA mapping 239.10.0.14:53000 bind 0.0.0.0 UDP 18.2 kpps 61.0 Mbps Connected Receiver context Automatic VITA mapping 239.10.0.15:53001 bind 0.0.0.0 UDP 6.4 kpps 21.4 Mbps Offline Bench receiver Custom packet map 127.0.0.1:4991 default interface TCP 0.00 pps No traffic 02 DECODE & ANALYSIS ## Move from packet bytes to signal behavior. VITA Viewer detects and parses standard VITA packets as data arrives, building the layout automatically from header flags and declared size. In most cases, you can start inspecting immediately without creating a packet definition; saved custom definitions remain available for program-specific payloads. - Automatic detection of header options, packet structure, and declared fields - Automatic signed integer and floating-point I/Q sample formats from 8 to 64 bits - Decoded field, hexadecimal, and raw-byte packet inspector tabs - Context and extension metadata snapshots - FFT windows, averaging, floor/ceiling, peak hold, waterfall palettes, constellation scaling, and density eye controls Signal analysis Live I/Q samples · updated now Follow selected source — 1⌄ FFT Spectrum I/Q Plot Eye Plot FFT SIZE 2,048 points⌄ WINDOW Hamming⌄ AVERAGE 2 frames⌄ MIN LEVEL −80 dBFS⌄ COLORS Turbo⌄ ▣ Peak hold SAMPLES 16,384 IQ FORMAT Signed 16-bit I/Q RMS 0.74502 PEAK 1.23674 FREQUENCY SCALE Normalized (±Fs/2) −20 −40 −60 −80 −100 914.0 914.5 915.0 915.5 916.0 MHz LIVE FFT AVG 2 · PEAK HOLD NORMALIZED ±Fs/2 Waterfall Newest samples at top 914.0 MHz 915.0 MHz 916.0 MHz 03 PACKET EDITOR ## Build the decoder your program actually needs. Standard VITA packets are detected and parsed automatically. When a program adds its own fields, create that custom layout visually instead of hard-coding it; the editor treats each 32-bit word as an interactive canvas and saves definitions into a reusable local library. - Drag-and-drop field palette with custom reusable fields - Bit range, type, size, offset, color, data type, endianness, and byte-swap properties - Undo, redo, duplicate, save-as, reload, and unsaved-change protection - Built-in VITA templates plus JSON import and export CURRENT PACKET IF Data Packet — custom New Save Export JSON PACKET NAME IF Data Packet — custom WORDS 12 TOTAL SIZE 384 bits / 48 bytes DRAG SOURCE Field palette Packet Header Stream ID Class ID Integer Timestamp Payload Word Custom Field BIT / WORD EDITOR Packet canvas 12 words · 384 bits 31 24 16 8 0 W0 Packet Header W1 Stream ID W2 Class ID W3 Payload Word W4 Payload Word W5 Payload Word 04 WORKSPACE OPERATIONS ## Keep the session observable and portable. The dashboard keeps live-source availability, packet rate, integrity issues, and source shortcuts in one operational view. Settings keep the local workspace bounded, accessible, and easy to move. - At-a-glance live-source, packet-rate, and transport-issue status - Workspace and preference import/export without credentials or tokens - Configurable packet, event, and chart-history retention limits - Disconnect, transport-error, and packet-integrity notifications - Dark/light themes, custom accents, density, scale, units, time, and hex formatting - Sanitized diagnostic copy/export and explicit local-data reset controls OVERVIEW Workspace dashboard Native stream bridge Open streams i Everything important stays visible Source state, traffic, and integrity at a glance.
