"My use case is this: I capture some data with a low-end computer, and for maximum performance I have all analyzers removed. After the capture I move the .sal file to a better machine, where I have a preset with necessary analyzer configuration, but I cannot load the preset, because the capture is protected. I also cannot unlock the capture - the option is grayed-out. I can manually add the analyzers, but it is very inconvenient. There should be an option to unlock the capture, or at least import analyzers from a preset."

"What would also work for me would be to have switchable analyzers. This way I could add the analyzers I need, but just disable them for the time of capture. Or you could add a global option to suspend analyzers processing while the capture is in progress."

In fact, this used to do this basically in the last major version if I remember correctly. I'm pretty sure it didn't lock the saved capture you were on so that you could just use the setup you had there and grab new data (and potentially save it to a new file)

Randy

I have any number of setups (several per board) and I've got some .sal files. I don't mind them being locked but taking the setup from that .sal file and using that for the next capture tab to open would save a whole lot of manual setups.

The second part ("switchable analyzers." and "suspend analyzers") is of more immediate and general interest to me. In fact: ideas.saleae.com/b/feature-requests/enable-disable-analysers/
