Frames interpreter tool

The Frames interpreter tool decodes the byte array of an API frame and displays it in a set of fields with corresponding values. The number of frame fields depends on the API frame type.

To open the Frames interpreter tool, select Frames interpreter from the Tools drop-down menu on the main XCTU toolbar.
