Frequently Asked Questions

What is Serial Studio?

Serial Studio is a cross-platform data visualization application for embedded systems. It provides real-time dashboards for serial ports, Bluetooth LE, MQTT, Modbus, CAN Bus, and network protocols.

What platforms are supported?

Windows 10/11, macOS 11+ (Intel and Apple Silicon), and Linux x64/ARM64. All platforms receive simultaneous updates.

Is programming knowledge required?

No. The visual Project Editor allows dashboard configuration without programming. JavaScript support is available for custom binary protocol parsing.

Can I use it for commercial projects?

Yes. Commercial use of pre-compiled binaries requires a Pro license. Alternatively, build from source under GPL-3.0 terms for open source projects.

What data sources are supported?

Serial/UART, Bluetooth LE, MQTT (Pro), Modbus TCP/RTU (Pro), CAN Bus (Pro), TCP/UDP, audio input (Pro), CSV files, and MDF4 files (Pro).

How is data exported?

Use the CSV or MDF4 export buttons in the toolbar. All data is automatically timestamped for analysis in Excel, Python, MATLAB, or other tools.

Is there a trial version?

Yes. Pre-compiled binaries include a 14-day Pro trial. After expiration, you may purchase a license or continue using GPL features.

Where can I get support?

Consult the documentation, review the examples, or submit a GitHub issue. Pro license holders receive priority email support.
