Data Flash Log - Line Number to Seconds

Posted by Bruce on June 22, 2018 at 9:41am

Hi there,

I was wondering if someone mind please explaining how to change the x-axis to have units of time (seconds,milliseconds, etc.) when graphing/exporting Data Flash Logs in Mission Planner. Currently, Mission Planner's Data Flash Log browser plots the value selected vs line number by default, but how do you determine how much time has elapsed between each line number?

Ultimately I would like to analyze this data in MATLAB or Python, and any input is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your help in advance.

    Hi Andre,

    Thanks for your help. I managed to export the data to MATLAB using the "Create MATLAB File" feature in Mission Planner.

    However, I was wondering if you knew what units the "Time US" parameter is in?

    for MATLAB/ python use mavlogdump.py to dump the log in a way that is easy to parse.  (install mavproxy if you don't have it yet.)

    For analysis/browsing the log, use the best tool; APMPlanner2.

    Actually I got the time axis working in APMPlanner 2. Thanks

    In MP check 'Use Time'.

    Thank you very much Andre. I will try implementing your suggestion.
