ROS 2 Bag File Logging and Analysis
R2026bROS Toolbox allows access to the message data in ROS 2 bag files orros2bags. You can filter the ROS 2 data and execute offline analysis in these ros2bag files.
To extract message data from a ros2bag log file, use the ros2bagreader object. To write logs to a ros2bag log file, use the
ros2bagwriter object. To record data to a ros2bag log file, use the
ros2bagrecorder object. To play the bag file data recorded to the ROS
2 network, use the ros2bagplayer object. You can also record ROS 2 messages during a
Simulink® simulation by using the ROS 2 Logger app. For more
information, see Use ROS 2 Logger App to Save ROS 2 Messages from Simulink.
To visualize the messages in ROS 2 bag log file or view a live ROS 2 topic, use the ROS Data Analyzer app.
