Python High-Level Analyzer print support

About dialog

This is the first update in quite a while where Logic2 hasn’t told me it was available and facilitated downloading and installing it. :slightly_frowning_face:

You were probably too fast for it, as the app checks for new version on launch and every 6 hours

Fair enough. I guess in the past updates have become available while I was sleeping and maybe the web notice came a little while after. I often seem to download the update through Logic2 before I see it here.

Nothing like doing production work on the bleeding edge. :smiley:

The comments for the previous release 2.2.16 are still valid.

Another minor detail:changing the zoom doesn’t update the first line px = ms.

Zoom

I know dark mode is fashionable, but most implementations actually allow to choose between normal (black on white) and dark (white on black) mode.

  • Do you plan to add normal mode to Logic?

@rei_vilo I somewhat agree. As a general thing I prefer paper mode (dark on light) than CRT mode (light on dark). For rendering signal traces however light on dark allows a much wider color and intensity pallet.

I would be in favor of a paper UI with a CRT signal pane, at least as an option.

Yes, we have plans but no timeline yet

Another question: I couldn’t manage to find the search tools.

Are they already implemented, or should we wait for a future alpha release?

Saving a 4.5 sec USB decoded tranfser takes around 55 seconds on a decent laptop with a i7-6600u.

Is there anything planned to speed this process up?

The data table search is almost ready. Probably in a week :slight_smile:

We can look into this. Can you share with us a capture?

Thanks!

I just noticed that the analog channels could be the problem. The file is around 340MB.
I can send it to you anyway via Firefox Send.

Is there a way to for example disable the analog channels in a read-only session and then “resave” it?
This would greatly increase the load speed of the saved capture.

Oh, it makes then, there is quite a lot of data to save there :slight_smile:

Not at the moment, would you like to add that to our feature requests board?

I have added it to your feature request board.

Speaking of USB Transfers - There was a discussion earlier on, about being able to do some form of data reduction on the USB data. Back to about 2.2.6… In where I mentioned with the released Logic software I would save away one of the USB reports (CSV file), that might have a million or two lines of output, and how using linux grep and sublime text editor I can often reduce this down to a few hundred lines (or less) of actual messages (those which send or receive actual data)… (March 13th post)

At the time (back about mid March) I sent a SAL file by email, which it sounded like maybe a HAL could be produced for it. Although at that point only Serial, I2C, SPI had support for HALs. Last I checked it sounded like that was still the case?

Thanks again

Kurt

P.S. - I still miss having the screen shot capabilities. I get by, by PRINT-Screen then bring up Photoshop…

Hi Kurt,

Adding HLA support to our USB analyzer is still on my radar :slight_smile: . It’s about 75% there, but unfortunately other tasks have taken priority. You’ll be the first to know when it’s ready!

Total failure and rejected promises…until I installed libnsl.so.1

I’ve been using the various alpha releases for a while, but when I tried version 17 the app would not start. The previous version I was using, 14, worked great.

This is on CentOS 8.1. Looking at errors, it seemed that it might be related to libnsl.so.1 – and indeed installing that fixed the problem. I’m not sure what happened between 14 and 17, though.

Looking good, otherwise. I am really looking forward to using the saved presets.

Thanks for posting it here for others!
It’s hard to support every Linux distro unfortunately (we currently test mainly on Ubuntu)

We’d love to get your feedback on presets

I was very confused about presets usage. I saved and then tried to find the file and could not. I had to dig around to find the export functionality so that I could share the presets with other people. Maybe a note on the save page would be useful.
