Welcome to the phyphox editor. If you are here for the first time, you should check out our introduction on Youtube in English or German.
If you are used to the old editor, you can still use the old version but be aware that this will become more and more outdated and that it will eventually break. Please check out the introduction to learn about the new editor.
If you find bugs or need support, please use our forums.
Known issues
The new blockly-based editor does not support translations. When importing a file with multiple languages, you can pick which language should be imported, but you cannot create a configuration with multiple languages. This feature is low priority and not expected to be implemented anytime soon. However, you can of course manually add translations to the generated XML file.
