How to view .DAT file flight log

[Dronason]

I had a strange flight were I lost the connection from my tablet (no RC) and the Spark didn't return home as expected. I was having my phone that was accidentally connecting to it after the tablet lost the connection (I suppose). I want to understand what really happen and I cannot used the log file from tablet as the link cut off.
I got the .DAT file from the flight recorder using the DJI assistant but I don't found a way to upload or convert it to a .TXT so I can upload it to https://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/Upload/.
Maybe @msinger has as usual a very good advise?

• Is there a way to convert a .DAT file for upload and view by https://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/Upload/ ?
• Is there any other ways or off-line tools to view .DAT file for the Spark?

If it's a true DAT flight log file, you should be able to read it with DatCon.

If it's a true DAT flight log file, you should be able to read it with DatCon.

I tried but it says in pre-analyzing the data file:
Using Datacon 2.5.2 (latest).
I first got a big .DAT file from the DJI assistant and Datacon said it contains more than one flight DAT file. I used ExtractDJI.exe to explode it in individual flight .DAT file."Spark\Log_files\DJI_ASSISTANT_EXPORT_FILE_2017-06-30_21-32-20.FLY36.DAT is not an acceptable .DAT file because it Unable to determine AC type"
So I assume that Spark is not currently supported or the format is not the same as the others.

CsvView/DatCon will work with the Spark .DAT in the next release. Should be in 3 or 4 days.
