Digi XBee® Ecosystem

Digi XCTU (XBee Configuration and Test Utility)

Digi XCTU® is a free cross-platform utility that enables developers to interact with Digi's RF modules through a GUI interface. This platform includes the necessary tools for users set up, configure and test any Digi XBee Module. Digi XCTU is packed full of unique features like graphical network view, which graphically represents the Digi XBee network along with the signal strength of each connection, and the Digi XBee API frame builder, which intuitively helps to build and interpret API frames for Digi XBees being used in API mode. These capabilities combine to make development on the Digi XBee platform easier than ever.

Digi XBee Multi Programmer Utility

For use in conjunction with the Digi XBee Multi Programmer, this utility allows users to take .pro configuration files generated in Digi XCTU and batch program multiple Digi XBee units.

Digi XBee Network Assistant

The Digi XBee Network Assistant is a free tool from Digi designed to inspect and manage radio frequency (RF) networks. Enjoy features like the ability to geo-locate your network devices or place them in custom maps and get information about them. Join and inspect any nearby Digi XBee network to get detailed information about all the nodes it contains. Update the configuration of all the nodes of the network, specific groups, or single devices based on configuration profiles, and export the network you are inspecting and import it later to continue working or work offline.
