I am building a software to analyze log files from ArduPilot in c++.
The Data from the files comes in the fallowing form:
Sensor name (GYRO, Barometer, ect).
Each sensor has several fields of data, for example the barometer has the fallowing fields:
Altitude, Pressure, Temperature, Offset and some more.
All the inputs in the log file that record the Barometer data will have all these fields.
Example of line in log file:
BARO, 843762779, 0, -1.443359, 94956.91, 43.06, -1.074093, 843762, 0, 28.38455, 1
Here is the general idea:
list of Sensors: BARO, GYRO, BAT ...
Every Sensor has some fields
Every Field should have ether a float array, or a float vector.
This way I can feed the Graph module with the address of the vector to display the data of the field.
I would love some help how to build the data structure.
So I can easily add data every time I read a line with more sensor data.
Easily access an array/vector of a single field for graph display.
Any ideas?
Edit:
To clear things up:
I can have 100,000 readings per field X many fields per sensor X many sensors...
I can't make up my mind if to use vectors on the heap, of pointers to vectors on the stack.
Should I use somthing like unordered_map for quick access
unordered_map<int,somthing>
Where int is the sensor's id

Maybe you can bundle the individual values in a struct? Something like:
struct Sensor {
std::string name;
double pressure;
double temperature
...
};
and then collect all sensors in a std::vector<Sensor> ?
