Thanks,
So appears there is no way to access the data in a timely/useful way for routine troubleshooting or to confirm an initial diagnoses.
Any notion of how often this would actually be helpful?

BTW: I suspect that access to raw data would not be useful, at a minimum some sort of analysis and filtering SW would be needed.
Ideally this could be automatically run after each flight to detect unnoticed/unreported glitches.
