Hi,  
I am processing ten SPI interfaces in parallel and currently have to export each analyzer manually on its own to import them in Matlab. Luckily this can be done nearly in parallel but It would really help saving alot of time not typing every single file name.

**Is there a way to automate the export like**  
**export SPI\_n to SPI\_n.txt for n=1…10 ?**

thx 😀

Although our newer Logic 2.x software does not yet support automation, this is possible via our older Logic 1.x software:

- [Logic 1.x Download - Saleae Support](https://support.saleae.com/logic-software/legacy-software/older-software-releases)
- [Socket API - Automation - Saleae Support](https://support.saleae.com/saleae-api-and-sdk/socket-api)

Specifically, you can use our ready-to-use command line utility tool below:

- [GitHub - saleae/python-saleae-cli: basic command line utility to automate the Saleae Logic software using the ppannuto python-saleae library](https://github.com/saleae/python-saleae-cli)

An example usage is as follows on Windows:

```auto
python saleae_cli.py --capture-count 24 --capture-duration 3600 --export-analyzers \Users\<Your User Name>\Desktop\export

```

Hope this helps!

Hi, thx.  
Do you know when this will be implemented in Logic 2.x? As far as I know it is not possible to import data in Logic 1.x which have been captured by Logic 2.x, right?

We unfortunately don’t have a timeline at the moment due to having a small software development team of 3 members (currently focused on other priority tasks). We are tracking this feature request in the idea post below. I added a comment for you to track your need for it, but feel free to add your vote in as well to help us with prioritization!

Correct, we don’t have a way of converting Logic 2.x captures (.sal file format) into Logic 1.x captures (.logicdata file format), or vice versa. For this one, we are tracking the feature request below (specifically for translating .logicdata into .sal):
