# MAVLink Inspector
|
||
|
|
||
|
The _MAVLink Inspector_ provides real-time information and charting of MAVLink traffic received by _QGroundControl_.
|
||
|
|
||
|
::: warning
|
||
|
This feature is intended primarily for **autopilot developers**/**vehicle creators**.
|
||
|
It is only supported on desktop builds (Windows, Linux, Mac OS).
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
The inspector lists all received messages for the current vehicle, along with their source component id and update frequency.
|
||
|
You can drill down into individual messages to get the message id, source component id, and the values of all the individual fields.
|
||
|
You can also chart field values in real time, selecting multiple fields from multiple messages to display on one of two charts.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To use the _MAVLink Inspector_:
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. Open _Analyze View_ by selecting the _QGroundControl_ application menu ("Q" icon in top left corner) and then choosing the **Analyze Tools** button (from the _Select Tool_ popup).
|
||
|

|
||
|
1. Select the **MAVLink Inspector** from the sidebar.
|
||
|
|
||

|
||
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
- Fields can be added to only one chart.
|
||
|
- A chart can have multiple fields, and fields from multiple messages (these are listed above each chart).
|
||
|
Messages containing fields that are being charted are highlighted with an asterisk.
|
||
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|

|
- The _Scale_ and _Range_ are set to sensible values, but can be modified if needed.
