Automation API - Edit Channel Names / Labels


Avatar
Tim

This is a request to allow our Automation API to edit channel names

In the meantime, a community user created a Python script as a workaround below: https://discuss.saleae.com/t/python-api-channel-naming/1926/21


Original post was somehow deleted. We will continue tracking this request in a new post here.

"With the API and the manager.start_capture () function, it is possible to capture channels. This tells the device_configuration transfer parameter, among other things, which analog and digital channels should be used.

Is it also possible to give these channels names that are both displayed and included when the recording is downloaded.
Unfortunately I didn't find it. Otherwise, it would be very helpful."

Note. This can all be achieved by just adding the possibility to load a preset (*.logic2Preset) file from the API.

When using Automation API:
"How can I make Logic remember my custom channel names, so that they are shown correctly when I load a capture file?"

"is it possible to name all the channels from Python script? I don’t see anything about that. It uses the default name!"

"I have just spent longer than necessary looking for an API (official and/or unofficial) for renaming the channels prior to an automatic data capture + csv export job.

Is there really no such API? It seems like a rather trivial thing to implement since it already is possible to rename the channels via the GUI (my current workaround - but it is hard to ensure that everyone names the channels correctly for additional postprocessing down the line).

Any idea to when/if this will be implemented? Are we talking weeks/months or years into the future?"

"I want to change the Saleae logic analyzer channel names (default_name to required_name) using python scripts. Is there any python API to do so?"
