Hi, is it possible to set a (custom) HighLevelAnalyzer as the Input Analyzer of another HighLevelAnalyzer? E.g. process a stream of bytes by the Async Serial analyzer. These bytes are decoded by some custom HLA. The produced frames are then decoded further by another HLA: Async Serial → HLA1 → HLA2. I tried the HLA py code from the example, but I can only select the Async Serial analyzer as Input Analyzer (not the other analyzer). Thanks! Sebastian ---

Unfortunately, this is not possible at the moment. Having said that, we’re tracking this feature request below. Feel free to add your vote to it! > **[HLA - Support Input from another HLA - Logic 2 - Ideas and Feature Requests -...](https://ideas.saleae.com/b/feature-requests/hla-support-input-from-another-hla/)** > > enable a hla to use another hla as input, so the stream parser could be used by another hla data layer which will only use the information: packet start, packet type data.data ... and show only an higher layer of the data interpretation. I’ve added a link to the feature request post above to your forum post here so we can remember your need for this feature.
