We are getting a lot of data from the Ardupilot IMU. However we seem to have a problem decipering what we are getting. Specifically, the Time stamp format is unknown. Is there documentation on reading IMU data fields?

What the gps timestamp is depends on which gps. Generally it is either millisecond time of day or millisecond time of week.
Crs is ground course, and mix altitude is a mixture of gps and baro altitude (% determined by the parameter value).
I'm looking at it too.
Here is a sample from a log from last week.
ATT: -427, 272, 18698
GPS: 55471500, 1, 13, 41.6851730, -111.8995000, 0.0000, 1547.2300, 1533.3500, 15.7300, 182.9300
What are the units for each value? Not being a computer guy (but trying), I see ATT values that don't make sense because there are numbers >360. Is the GPS time stamp is in GPS week? I see the XY coords, but what are the two z values? And finally what is everything else?
Thanks
