To import label definitions from an ASCII file

You can create label names and assign logic analyzer probe channels by importing label definitions from an ASCII file.

1.In the Format tab, select File from the menu; then, select the Import Labels... menu item.

2.In the File Selection dialog, select the name of the file that contains the label definitions.

3.Select OK.

Up to 126 labels can be defined. Label names can be up to 20 characters long (additional characters are truncated). A maximum of 32 channels can be assigned to a label.

When updating labels by importing label definitions, make sure that the labels are turned ON. Labels that are not active will not be updated.

Label definition files have one definition per line, where each line has the format:

label_name;pod_name[channel_list];pod_name[channel_list] ...

In a channel list, individual channels are separated by commas (","), and a range of channels is separated by a colon (":").

To assign label name "Blue" to channel 5 on pod A2:

Blue;A2[5]

To assign label name "Green" to channels 5 through 2 and channel 0 on pod A2:

Green;A2[5:2,0]

To assign label name "Yellow" to channel 1 on pod A2 and channel 0 on pod A1:

Yellow;A2[1];A1[0]
