Anyone know how to decode the ADS-B Log from the 210V2?  I've been attempting to use the DAT decoders for the flight logs, but it seems like the ADS-B DAT is configured differently than the standard flight logs, which makes the files unparsable using the standard DAT decoders.  

Thanks!

Can you provide an example .DAT so that I could take a look?

I was hoping that it was the usual .DAT that would contain ADSB records in addition to the usual records. Might have been able to do something with that. I'm looking at another M200 .DAT and it has a record type containing data about communicating with the ADSB module. Although the .DAT has the specification for another ADSB record containing latitude, longitude, and altitude data  there are no records of that type.

Hm.  Ok.  I'll check the Assitant app again to see if there are any corresponding data files to go with it.  Thanks for looking into it.  If you don't mind my asking, what software were you using to analyze it?

I'm using DatCon that I developed. DatCon is free and can be obtained here http://datfile.net/index.html
