Typically I have more than one analyzer hooked up (sometimes three!), and it’s annoying when spawning a new window to try and remember which is which just by position…it would be amazing to be able to give them nicknames / friendly names - is this possible somehow and I’m just missing the option?

@Kris Thanks for letting us know your need for that. I completely agree with you! This was actually possible in the past, however, we just haven’t had a chance to port that feature over to the latest software just yet due to time constraints and other priority projects on our plate.

I just added a comment for you in the existing feature request post below that links back to your forum post here so we can keep track of your need for this.
