Welcome to our series of tutorials on Logic 2, a brand new application to debug your hardware using your Saleae Logic analyzer. In the previous video, linked below, we discussed the basics of PROTOCOL ANALYZERS and showed a few ways you can decode and view SPI data. In this video, we'd like to show a couple tips for organizing your workspace. This can be especially useful when working with several channels and analyzers like shown here.

Tip #1 - You can rename your channels to better reflect the data line you are capturing. Note that when selecting the input channels for your protocol analyzer, it will show your custom name for the channel, rather than the channel number.

Tip #2 - By dragging the channel's tab on the left, channels can be re-organized to your liking. Dragging the border of the channel on the left-pane allows channels to be resized. To resize multiple channels simultaneously, resize one channel to set a reference height. Then, right click within the waveform and click "Match all channels to current height." You can also match only DIGITAL channels to the current height. The same goes for ANALOG channels.

Tip #3 - Logic 2 uses a variety of colors to help you differentiate parts of the software. This includes trace colors for the individual channels, which is also indicated on the very left of the software. It also includes analyzer colors - which determine the colors for the analyzer data boxes in your waveform. Here, we have a color for our UART data, a color for our I2C data, and a color for our SPI data. These can be set in the Analyzers panel by clicking on the colored box next to the analyzer. One tip is to set the analyzer color to match the channel that the data resides over. If you prefer working WITHOUT trace colors, you can turn it off by right clicking anywhere on the left pane and clicking remove trace colors.

Tip #4 - You may also want to adjust the scaling for a recorded analog waveform. We've resized one of our analog channels to fit about half the screen. On MacOS, holding the Cmd key while dragging allows you to vertically scroll, while Cmd plus the mouse-wheel will vertically zoom. You can view these keyboard shortcuts by clicking on the Options button, and Keyboard shortcuts. On Windows and Linux, you'll find these keyboard shortcuts here next to Vertical Scroll and Vertical Zoom in and out.

Tip #5 - For our final tip, you can hide the progress window during a capture by clicking the 'x'. This will convert the window into a progress bar on the side panel as shown here. Clicking on the progress bar will convert it back to a window. This setting is saved for subsequent captures.

This wraps up our tutorial on organizing your workspace. We hope this helps in managing complex captures, especially when working with several channels and analyzers. In the next video, we plan on discussing more useful features on Logic 2. As always, if you have any specific questions or feedback, visit our Logic 2 forum in the link here ([ Ссылка ]).
