Since version 1.2.0 (released June 2009), the popular free protocol analyzer SW Wireshark (www.wireshark.org) supports the protocol according to the synchrophasor standard IEEE C37.118-2005.

The phasor values are displayed in the common notation (magnitudes and phases) used in electrical engineering.

For decoding the actual data, related configuration frames are used.

The protocol dissector was provided by Jens Steinhauser, who started the work on this topic out of private interest. During a temporary employment at OMICRON electronics, he was encouraged to complete the work and to submit it to the maintainers of Wireshark for review, who finally accepted the code.
