signal-scope is a live plotting tool for LCM message fields.

The required system dependencies are:

• LCM 1.0 or greater
• Qt 4.8
• Qwt 6.0 or greater
• Python 2.7

To install dependencies on Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install python-dev libqt4-dev libqwt-dev

To install dependencies on Mac homebrew:

brew install qt qwt

Next install LCM from source if you don't already have it. Visit the lcm webpage: https://lcm-proj.github.io/build_instructions.html

Finally, to build the signal-scope software, run:

make externals
make

The output will be build/bin/signal-scope.

See the examples directory for scripts demonstrating the basic usage of signal-scope. Launch a python script by using the File --> Open menu or by passing the script filename on the command line to signal-scope.
