Unable to load .ulg when using Flight Log Analyzer from UAV toolbox

Hello,

I am trying to use the Flight log Analyzer from the UAV toolbox. I have R2021a and the latest UAV Toolbox installed on my laptop running Ubuntu 18.04. Here is the output of "ver"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MATLAB Version: 9.10.0.1710957 (R2021a) Update 4

MATLAB License Number: 521249

Operating System: Linux 4.15.0-151-generic #157-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 9 23:07:57 UTC 2021 x86_64

Java Version: Java 1.8.0_202-b08 with Oracle Corporation Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM mixed mode

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MATLAB Version 9.10 (R2021a)

Robotics System Toolbox Version 3.3 (R2021a)

UAV Toolbox Version 1.1 (R2021a)

When I load the log file in the flight log analyzer, I have the following error, and I am not sure what to do.

However, when load the logfile on the PX4 flight log analyzer, it works fine and I can look at the results. I cannot upload the .ulg here, but it can be downloaded from here https://logs.px4.io/plot_app?log=4bdce979-875c-4741-982e-66f2d246d765 (Top right > Download > Log File). So I do not think the problem is the .ulg file itself, but rather the Flight Log Analyzer tool itself.

Many thanks in advance!

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. Our development team is closely reviewing this issue and considering solutions. Please check back or set an alert on this post to be made aware of when a fix is available.

[Anthony Maalouly]

Do you have any updates?

[Venkatesh BalaSubburaman]

Hi Anthony,

The issue seems to be comming from the accessing the magnetometer value from the log data.

I have attached a script that will fix the issue to read the log file that you shared.

Run the script in MATLAB and then you should get flsmObj and ulogData in MATLAB workspace. You can change the log file in the script if you need to.

%load the log file in workspace
ulogData = ulogreader("4bdce979-875c-4741-982e-66f2d246d765.ulg");

%create a ulog signal mapping
flsmObj = flightLogSignalMapping("ulog");

%Update the signal mapping for magnetometer
flsmObj.mapSignal("Mag", ...
    @(data)getTime(getTable(data, "vehicle_magnetometer")), ...
    @(data)getMagValue(getTable(data, "vehicle_magnetometer")));

function v = getMagValue(tbl)
    v=[tbl.magnetometer_ga ...      %magnetometer_ga
       ];
end

function tbl = getTable(data, name)
%getTable Extract table from data
    indx = strcmp(data.AvailableTopics.TopicNames, name);
    tbl = [];
    if(any(indx))
        temp = data.readTopicMsgs('TopicNames',name);
        tbl=temp.TopicMessages{:};
    end
end

function t = getTime(tbl)
%getTime Get time column in duration format
    t = tbl.timestamp;
    t.Format = 's';
end

Once you have the flsmObj and ulogData in workspace, you can import these to flighLogAnalyzer app through "Import -> From workspace".

This should load the log data in the App. Let us know if this works for you.

Thanks
