Log Viewer (Analyze View)
The Log Viewer screen (Analyze > Log Viewer) provides a unified workflow for post-flight analysis:
- Open ArduPilot DataFlash logs (
.bin/.log) for parameter and event inspection. - Open telemetry logs (
.tlog) and replay them with timeline controls. - Reuse existing MAVLink inspection and charting tools while replaying telemetry.
Typical Workflow
- Download logs from Analyze > Onboard Logs.
- Open the downloaded
.binor.tlogfile in Analyze > Log Viewer. - For
.tlog, use playback controls (play/pause, speed, seek) to inspect behavior over time. - For
.bin, review extracted parameters and events, then select signals for plotting.
Performance Notes
- Very large logs can take noticeable time to parse.
- Prefer loading logs from local SSD storage for faster indexing.
- If onboard storage is slow and logs contain gaps, reduce logging rate using related parameters in Analyze > Log Setup.
