How to open and view a SystemDump?

Have you ever had the need to open a SystemDump from a B&R PLC and analyze the data?
Today i want to share with you an easy to use open source tool from GitHub

Viewer for SystemDump.xml files of B&R PLCs with a few nice features…]

The SystemDumpViewer provides 2 ways to open the system dump information:

1) Directly opening the stored SystemDump File

2) Uploading the SystemDump from the PLC directly by connecting with an IP address

The tool itself works pretty straight forward and does not require a lot of explaination.

I hope this will be helpful for making faster troubleshootings and understanding the PLC status.

This looks really interesting!
Is there an installation packet to download, or do I need to download the whole git repository and compile the project myself?
It would be nice if you could add a short description of how to install the System Dump Viewer.

The installers are available in the “Releases” part of the repository.
