if (FALSE) {
## download recent telemetry log file from controller and convert it to gpx
soloLog(logFiles = "solo.tlog")

## download the last available logfile from the radio control
soloLog()

## download ALL logfiles from the radio control
soloLog(logFiles = "all")

## download ALL telemetry logfiles from the flight controller
soloLog(logSource = "pixhawk",logFiles = "all")

## download telementry logfile number 5  from the remote control
soloLog(logSource = "rc",logFiles = "5")
