Overview

This document lists the various tools for working with uwar files and related data. An example .uwar file is hosted on this machine that you can use to test with. All outputs on this page are from this file: example.uwar.


uwar_cat

uwar_cat is a program to extract data from uwar files and dump them in a human readable format. The output format is something of the form:

SENSORA      TIMESTAMP DATA ...
SENSORB      TIMESTAMP DATA ...
SENSORC      TIMESTAMP DATA ...

If you want to retrieve data from a specific sensor you can use the grep command.
Windows users: You can download a win32 version of grep from the gnuwin32 webpage. You will also need to grab some additional libraries or you can try this zipped version which should contain all the necessary libraries. Simply extract the zip to your Windows\system32 directory.

    uwar_cat <filename>

uwar-info

uwar_info will display the meta data stored in the uwar file. This information can be useful in determining what streams are inside a uwar file and what settings might be in use, for example you can retrieve the schedule and the calibration data from the sensor boards with this command.

usage

    uwar_info <filename>

uwar_msb_dump

uwar_msb_dump is a program to dump the raw serial packets stored inside the uwar file to a single binary output file. This is useful for debugging problems with the MSB itself and analyzing the packets received by the msb-server.

usage

    uwar_msb_dump <input_uwar_filename> <output_binary_file>
    

example output

    uwar_msb_dump example.uwar example.bin
    # INFO: open file example.uwar
    # INFO: Output file example.bin
    # INFO: read UWAR v2 header
    # INFO: read UWAR v2 data
