Net F/T Viewer is a cross-platform desktop application for inspecting and recording live six-axis data from an ATI Net F/T Ethernet sensor without a ROS installation.
- Shows raw counts and calibrated force and torque in sensor-reported units.
- Switches between one combined plot and six individual panels.
- Tracks connection state, receive rate, packet loss, status, and recording.
- Pauses display and CSV capture without losing connection-health monitoring.
- Records through a bounded buffer with explicit overflow and recovery behavior.

- Connect the computer and sensor to the same trusted network.
- Configure the computer with a compatible IPv4 address.
- Start Net F/T Viewer, enter the sensor address, and select Connect.
- Inspect the live values and health indicators before recording or biasing.
ATI sensors use 192.168.1.1 as their documented factory-default address. Use
the address configured for your device if it has been changed.
Pause freezes the displayed data and suspends CSV acceptance while connection health continues to update. Bias changes the measurement zero; unload or fixture the sensor and make the connected mechanism safe before confirming it.
