Set ANTWare to see Heart Rate broadcasted from my Fenix 6

Hi all,
I'm trying to dig in ANT+ protocol and as first test I'm trying to see understand how to set ANTWare to be able to read informations about Heart Beat broadcasted by my Garmin Fenix 6X.
Could you help me ?

Thank you in advance,

Silvio

Hi, there is a Tool "SimulANT+" available at thisisant.com, which is analyzing ANT+ protocol. As hardware you simply need a ANT+ dongle on pc ...

Thank you forandy.
I already have the ANTWare software installed (from thisisant.com) and an ANT USB dongle recognized by ANTWare.
I tried to get also SimulANT+ from thisisant.com but it seems it is not available with my registered account, the download page is not accessible.
This is the reason why I'm trying to do the same with ANTWare.. but there are a lot of settings to adjust...
I suppose I have to be a "Slave" and to have to receive a specific "Device Type" ...
"Device A" is my ANT+ dongle, i tried to open the communication channel as "Salve bat I'm unable to receive information from my watch.

An ANT+ Adopter Account should be sufficient - and in my perspective this is for free. Anyhow, for any development in area of ANT+ you will need doc from thisisant.com, and doc is only available with at least Adopter Account.

SimulANT+ is really simple to use, choose dongle, select what's to be simulated (in your case HR display) and start ... so really easy to use.

Thank you forandy, you were right !
I upgraded my account to "Adopter" (it was free) and I was able to download SimulANT+.
I was also able to use the Heart Beat Monitor as script to see the transmission from my watch...

Now the next step ... do the same in a application :-)

Thank you !

Excuse me ... I missed some information.
I need ot create a web application ... (probably .net/python or nodejs) on a Rasberry Pi to see my heartbeat/HRV on a web page.
