"Hey again
Is there an option to re-name channels for the captured recording ?
(even better if it would be possible to set it before starting the capture). if not, are there any plans for future versions ?"

"is there a way to name channels through the automation API – so capture can be fully automated? (Capture files with unnamed channels aren’t super useful.)"

"We are changing the names of the channels in csv file after running the saleae automation python script. We would like to know if there is any API to name the channels inside the Saleae logic analyser while capturing the log."

Merged with: In automation remote control rename the digital or analog channels

Is there a possibility to rename the channels name, shown on the screen by automation start, launch etc. ?
It is possible to edit manually in the window, i have seen, but would be nice to give the signals right name in automatic remote control

"I'm implementing something to use the Logic 2 automation library and I was having some trouble finding a way to name a given trace. We're purely monitoring an analog signal - not doing any sort of analysis on it. I want to simply name given channels I'm capturing on. Something like "GPIO4", "POWER_RAIL2", etc. In other words, I'm looking for an automated way of double-clicking the text next to the Channel name in the GUI. I tried looking through the automation module and didn't see an easy way to do this and didn't find anything. Would I have to create my own custom analyzer to accomplish this?"

"The Logic UI allows to rename each channel to a custom name. ----- In Automation API documentation, we did not find any API to name the channels. Is there any option avato name the channels from code?"

"How can I change the name of the channels from my python script?
So instead of being recorded at Ch 1, Ch2...Ch15 I want to label my values something else."

"- i am loading a presets and all of my channels are labeled correctly
- but when I do an acqusition using the automated script the labels for each channel go back to the generic names
- when i save the files have the generic names as well
- how do i keep the updated names when running the automated scripts"

"I have been following this for my automationsaleae.github.io/logic2-automation/index.html. However, I couldn't find a way to name a channel. Is it part of the automation.LogicDeviceConfiguration?"

"The first thing which I do when I use Logic 2 app is to name channels inside app to match net names of connected signals as they are used in schematic - for readability purposes.
For example if I have 16 signals connected to Logic 16, when I analyze signals, “RTC_INT” name is much more informative than “Channel 0”. API 2 prevents me to provide my own names and I’m little surprised that such basic feature is not implemented to be honest."

"Hi, a feature request: ability to name the channels, and to add notes. Adding autonomous measurements would also be great, but I assume that's a lot more complex than just adding the ability to name a channel.

This is super helpful software though. Makes integrating with a larger test setup much more manageable."

Hi Tim any update on this? How can I see what are the features worked on at the moment? Thanks

We unfortunately don’t have a planned release date for it yet, nor do we have a way of publicly sharing what we're working on at the moment. Sorry I’m unable to share much more information than that. Our team of 4 sw developers are currently backed up with higher priority work for quite some time.

Would be great to have this feature

This feature would make things so much easier

"I appreciate the documentation for the Logic 2 automation API and have used it to build a test tool.
Do you know if there is a way to rename the channels 0 - 15 to predetermined names; SDA, SCL, etc?
I was unable to find a solution in the API."

"Hello I am using Logic 2 automation, but I cannot find how to change the label programmatically , so for instance replace “Channel 0” for something else. Is there any way to do it? Or at least is there any way that the labels are not reset to default so at least I can set them up manually? The current software resets the label that I introduce manually, to the default “Channel X”. Thanks!"
