The PolySync transcoder

The application polysync-transcode converts the binary PLog flat files created by Polysync ('.plog') to external formats used in industry standard data science and machine learning tools. It can also query, slice and dice, and re-encode the PLog format.

The Transcoder consists of several components:

• Command line tool polysync-transcode, inspired by the industry standard HDF5 workflow including h5ls and h5dump.
• Set of output plugins tailored to a specific external format like PLog, and HDF5 (planned)
• Set of data model descriptions that describe the layout of arbitrary binary blobs
• C++14 library for users to write their own custom data science tools
• Python extension (planned)

The most useful application of the transcoder is to explore and query PLog files written by PolySync Core. Users can print both the file's data model, and the data itself, in human readable formats.
