Open your goesrecv.conf file and confirm the following lines are not commented (remove #), then restart goesrecv.

[clock_recovery.sample_publisher]
bind = "tcp://0.0.0.0:5002"
send_buffer = 2097152

[demodulator.stats_publisher]
bind = "tcp://0.0.0.0:6001"

[decoder.stats_publisher]
bind = "tcp://0.0.0.0:6002"

After downloading the latest goesrecv-monitor.zip, extract all files and run goesrecv-monitor.exe. Enter the IP address of a Raspberry Pi running goesrecv and click Connect (or hit enter). The constellation plot and statistics list will start showing data.
