[Python API] Channel naming

[BitBob]

Hi @itay.work94, @pawel, @gautam.nbhat, @albert.caba and anyone else interested –

Try out this python script:

GitHub - b1tb0b/saleae-rename-channels: Python script to rename channels in a Saleae...

You could embed the function sal_rename_channels() within your Automation API python script, or call this script separately as a standalone program.

Note: I’m still quite new to python, so any feedback is quite welcome

PS: This is based on a concept discussed in another thread:

Applying a preset to Logic2 Automation API Capture

For what its worth, I did a quick experimental hack – given that the *.sal file is really just a ZIP archive with a set of *.bin analog and/or digital files and a meta.json file describing everything stored. If you want to rename the channels manually, you can just: open the *.sal file in the Logic 2 software manually rename the channels save the changes back to a *.sal file Likewise, you can also rename the channels by the following steps: unzip the *.sal file modify the label/strings in …

… and as I wanted to explore python a bit more, I finally tried it out myself.
