What is a WPILOG file?
A WPILOG file is a binary data log file used in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) ecosystem. It stores recorded data in binary format from robots that use WPILib, a development framework for programming FRC robots. WPILOG files capture what happens during a robot's operation, making them useful for reviewing performance after a match or test run.
More Information
The file stores structured data such as sensor readings, robot position, system states, and values from NetworkTables over time. The data is recorded as a timeline, allowing users to replay and analyze the robot's behavior during operation. Logs are typically created on the robot's controller, such as the roboRIO, using WPILib's data logging tools.
Students, mentors, and engineers involved in robotics teams are most likely to encounter WPILOG files. The files help teams debug issues, tune performance, and understand how the robot responded during matches or practice sessions.
How to open a WPILOG file
You can open WPILOG files with WPILib Data Log Tool, which is included as part of the standard WPILib Software Installer. AdvantageScope also supports WPILOG files.
