Overview

The Data Explorer for MQTT correctly shows data in its data browsing tree, plain data from traditional MQTT Brokers, and it also correctly parses and formats the data from Sparkplug B topics.

Common Uses

The Data Explorer tools are typically used in the following phases of project development:

  • Data Discovery: The tools provide an easy, user-friendly way to verify the consistency of the data you intend to work with.
  • Templates and Tags Definition: Data templates, local tags, and tag providers can be easily created in the project configuration using the data displayed in the Data Browser window.
  • Testing and Validation: When used in conjunction with connections already defined in the project configuration, these tools can be used to validate and monitor the results of data acquisition.

With MQTT, the Data Browser will act as a client application to the broker, subscribing to the data visible on the user interface.
