ValueError: could not convert string to float (on some INAV logs)

With some of INAV logs the analysis ends with "ValueError: could not convert string to float" error. I observe this on all long logs. Really short ones seem to work fine (not sure if it is related).

I'm following this way of running the analyzer on mac: https://github.com/Plasmatree/PID-Analyzer/issues/15
