pyulog

This repository contains a python package to parse ULog files and scripts to convert and display them. ULog is a self-describing logging format which is documented here.

The provided command line scripts are:

  • ulog_info: display information from an ULog file.
  • ulog_messages: display logged messages from an ULog file.
  • ulog_params: extract parameters from an ULog file.
  • ulog2csv: convert ULog to CSV files.
  • ulog2kml: convert ULog to KML files.

Installation

Installation with package manager:

pip install pyulog

Installation from source:

python setup.py build install

Development

To install the code in a format so that it can be easily edited use the following command (this will install the package as a link to the repo):

pip install -e .

Testing

pytest test

or

python setup.py test

Code Checking

pylint pyulog/*.py

Command Line Scripts

All scripts are installed as system-wide applications (i.e. they be called on the command line without specifying Python or a system path), and support the -h flag for getting usage instructions.

The sections below show the usage syntax and sample output (from test/sample.ulg):

Migrate/setup the database for use with the DatabaseULog class (ulog_migratedb)

Warning This command must be run whenever the schema changes, otherwise DatabaseULog won't function.

Warning Even if you store logs in the database, you should keep the original .ulg files. Otherwise you may lose your data.
