From IHeartRobotics:

"It looks like the Pixhawk team has made some more improvements to their ground control software. Most importantly some progress is being made towards interoperability so that various aircraft can use the ground control. MAVLink provides a telemetry interface that can be implemented on a microcontroller to enable autopilots and IMUs to connect to the ground control.

The documentation for the project is looking pretty good, which is how I found out that the software supports exporting data to MATLAB.
