Graphical User Interfaces

pyX2Cscope ships with two ready-to-use graphical interfaces: a Qt desktop application and a Web interface built on Flask. Both expose the same core functionality — connecting to a target, reading and writing variables, recording scope data, and running Python scripts — but they are designed for different use cases and deployment scenarios.

	Qt GUI	Web GUI
Best for	Desktop / laptop, single user	Remote access, shared setups, headless machines
How to start	python -m pyx2cscope	python -m pyx2cscope -w
Access	Native window on the local machine	Any browser, including phones and tablets on the same network
Scripting	Built-in editor, output in a dedicated tab	Browser-based editor, output streamed via WebSocket
Standalone exe	pyX2Cscope.exe (default)	pyX2Cscope.exe -w

Both interfaces are also examples of how to build your own custom GUI on top of the pyX2Cscope API — the source code is part of the package and can be used as a starting point.
