It looks like a suggestion was made by a community member on your forum post below.

> Hi, I am using Automation API to capture all digital lines. After that I want to analyze by loading it in Logic 2. Unfortunately I cannot load my preset to this capture. This is becoming a big problem as I have named the ports based on pins that I am capturing and now I just see Channel 0, Channel 1 …, Channel 15. Am I missing something or is this feature not present? If this feature is not present could you please provide some support for this feature? Thanks.

Our end goal as Mark mentioned previously is to open up our Automation API to allow for controlling all aspects of the software available in the GUI. As you’ve brought up, we’re unfortunately not there yet, and I completely understand your frustration regarding not having an update on this topic since then. We’ve been heads down on some high priority projects for quite some time and the short answer is that we simply haven’t been able to prioritize working towards this goal because of it.
