Visualising numpy arrays in PyCharm

Question

I'm trying to use PyCharm for developing and debugging numpy code, and I would like to have a similar tool for inspecting numpy arrays. According to this link https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/features/scientific_tools.html there is built-in numpy array viewer. However, when stopped in the debugger, all I could see is this:

which is a really low-level representation. Is this really what they mean by the "array viewer" or there is the feature hidden in somewhere.

Thanks!

To view a NumPy array, run your project in a debug mode and find the NumPy array in the variables list shown in the PyCharm`s graphical debugger. Right-click it and select “View as Array”.

It should look like this (not the low-level representation you're seeing.):
