These applications offer a user-friendly interface to visualize and interact with data captured by your device. The ZED Tools serve as demonstration applications to help you quickly explore and understand your camera’s capabilities. While they provide an accessible way to visualize and interact with data, they are not intended for production environments and do not expose the full range of features or advanced configuration options available in the corresponding ZED SDK modules. The ZED Tools are available for both *Windows* and *Linux* platforms: | Tool | Description | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [**ZED Explorer**](/docs/development/zed-tools/zed-explorer/) | Visualize the camera’s raw video feed, test camera controls, record SVOs, and access raw calibration parameters. Works with Stereo and Monocular cameras. | | [**ZED Studio**](/docs/development/zed-tools/zed-studio/) | Multi-camera stream viewer with all ZED Explorer functionalities plus support for viewing and managing multiple ZED cameras. | | [**ZED Depth Viewer**](/docs/development/zed-tools/zed-depth-viewer/) | View the depth map and point cloud generated by the ZED Stereo camera. | | [**ZED Sensor Viewer**](/docs/development/zed-tools/zed-sensor-viewer/) | Monitor IMU data and other sensor information. Includes Magnetometer calibration for ZED 2 and ZED 2i. | | [**ZEDfu**](/docs/development/zed-tools/zedfu/) | Experiment with 3D reconstruction and environment visualization using the [Spatial Mapping module](/docs/development/zed-sdk/modules/spatial-mapping/). | | [**ZED360**](/docs/development/zed-tools/zed-360/) | Calibrate a multi-camera ZED system and obtain extrinsic parameters for use with the [Fusion](/docs/development/zed-sdk/modules/fusion/) module. | | [**ZED Diagnostic**](/docs/development/zed-tools/zed-diagnostics/) | Check health and performance of your ZED camera for troubleshooting and optimal device experience. | | [**ZED Calibration**](/docs/development/zed-tools/zed-calibration/) | Recalibrate your ZED camera for special scenarios to compensate for image distortions and maintain performance. | The changes made to the ZED Tools in each ZED SDK release are listed in the [ZED Tools release notes](/docs/development/zed-tools/release-notes). | ![ZED Explorer](/_fern-img/a0348d25b3ccccf8e045b077472a3c5826f4bf1d8846ab53c544f94ec1ccce17.webp) | ![ZED Studio](/_fern-img/21e51c39389726bcf6b7fd228162d9bb23e8f50fe35406d0a4b46b820b98d3b4.webp) | | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | | ![ZED Depth Viewer](/_fern-img/c500564f89ef737fc5496b74dab84d1334cbe0fda2912131fe824d58014e582b.webp) | ![ZED Sensor Viewer](/_fern-img/404dca92e6361352d1be21d199ddb3f44e71e9e95e16b62c77def1abf130591f.webp) | | ![ZEDfu](/_fern-img/a4f907fb569e814b0cd1a987d46e42461c50d9cb9090e0a5c67ee6f55fe22609.webp) | ![ZED Diagnostic](/_fern-img/9a8f3f452e80fb104e3b3adfcf488032f70bd829c3b316e1ad84917e9943c571.webp) | | ![ZED Calibration](/_fern-img/eb2b4a3a4fbabd47731c2566e03811e535fb0e64c59e98deaaa5ca763a128e5f.webp) | ![ZED360](/_fern-img/fa429aa42f50fa768b201c719157838744de9af57de84219c5480410744b4151.webp) | ## Docs -
