Automation API - Edit Channel Names / Labels
- Open

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.

"i cant find away to programmatically add labels to channels. I'm writing python script to enable channels and record for 1hr at a time (10sec in test script) and writing it to a file. it works well but i cant see a way to label the channels via the API. is it possible?"
Angus
Im probably oversimplying this but..... Why not just add the option to load a preset.. We can import and export manully and everything would be set up the way you want. So rather the programitcally opening channels and labeling them just load the preset?
so instead of...
device_configuration = automation.LogicDeviceConfiguration(
enabled_digital_channels=[0, 1, 2, 5],
do
device_configuration = Profile "Profile name"
and then run the automation.

The ability to name channels makes the save .sal file more valuable since you'll know what you're looking at.
Seems like this functionality is missing from the API.

"Just wanted to check, although saleae.automation.LogicDeviceConfiguration allows you to enable specific logic channels with enabled_digital_channels - is there a way to name those channels, or they always 'Channel 0' , 'Channel 1' , 'Channel 2', etc?"

"I Need to automatically set and rename the Channel names of a Logic Analyzer Logic Pro 16 via a python script/app for later manual use.
Basically I need to automatically open and configure the logic2 SW (i.e. change the channel names) via a python script, so that the user doesn't need to worry about the configurations.
I was checking the Python Automation API package documentation and can't find a solution for editing/renaming the Chanel Names."

"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."
Martin
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?"
