PlotJuggler is a fast, flexible tool for visualizing and analyzing time series data.
It’s designed for working with both file-based datasets and live data streams, making it well suited to robotics, embedded development, sensor monitoring, telemetry analysis, and other projects that generate large volumes of time-based data.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Visualizes time series data with a fast OpenGL-based interface.
- Loads data from files including CSV, ULog, and ROS bag files.
- Connects to live data streams using sources such as MQTT, WebSockets, ZeroMQ, and UDP.
- Supports data formats including JSON, CBOR, BSON, and MessagePack.
- Handles thousands of time series and millions of data points.
- Offers a drag and drop interface for arranging plots and inspecting data.
- Saves visualization layouts and configuration settings for reuse.
