@davide.ferrari For your question below:

> Another question: slowly my output strings are getting too long. Is there a way to represent them on 2 lines on the analyzer result?

Are you referring to the Data Table to the right of the software’s UI? If so, each row in the data table corresponds to a single decoded protocol bubble. So, if you’re HLA extension outputs a long string on to a single protocol bubble, then it will appear as a single row in the data table.

Would you prefer to have a “wraparound” option, similar to how Excel can handle long text in a single box? Let us know your preferred solution. I’d love to get this improvement idea recorded below:

As for your question on printing “\<” or “\>”, I’m not quite sure. Let me get this in front of our software team. We’ll follow up on that.
