Hello,

ANT+ is a topic for a CIS class I am taking in university.

We have used Wireshark in class labs to review network packet information.

Is there something I can do that is equivalent for ANT?
I have been dabbling with SimulANT+ as well as ObervANT+ (I have ANT+ dongle and a speed/cadence sensor for my bicycle) but haven't been able to get anything I understand.

Using SimulANT, the closest thing I get (I think) is the ANT messages log in hex?
Using ObservANT, I wasn't able to get any channel information to display.

I would love to have a small sample of actual data to use for our class discussion.

Is there anything you can suggest for someone with no experience in this?

Thank you for your support.

AntwareII is the tool that provides the most raw access to the data moving through the channel. After configuring the device and channel parameters for a slave channel, try clicking "Open in Scan Mode" in the "Advanced" tab. This will show both the master to slave, and slave to master messages.

Note: using wildcard values for device number or type will show packets from multiple devices.

To understand the format you will want to consult "ANT Message Protocol and Usage" and the profile document for the sensor type you are using.
