Hi @itay.work94, @pawel, @gautam.nbhat, @albert.caba and anyone else interested ā€“ Try out this python script: > **[GitHub - b1tb0b/saleae-rename-channels: Python script to rename channels in a Saleae...](https://github.com/b1tb0b/saleae-rename-channels)** > > Python script to rename channels in a Saleae Logic2 capture file (\*.sal) You could embed the function `sal_rename_channels()` within your Automation API python script, or call this script separately as a standalone program. Note: Iā€™m still quite new to python, so any feedback is quite welcome šŸ™‚ PS: This is based on a concept discussed in another thread: > [@Applying a preset to Logic2 Automation API Capture](https://discuss.saleae.com/t/applying-a-preset-to-logic2-automation-api-capture/3022/3): > > For what its worth, I did a quick experimental hack ā€“ 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 ā€¦ ā€¦ and as I wanted to explore python a bit more, I finally tried it out myself. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.saleae.com/t/python-api-channel-naming/1926)._
