Logic 2.x Instructions

Loading custom C++ protocol analyzers is possible in the Logic 2 software starting with the 2.3.5 release.

On the software's main menu, select "Custom Low Level Analyzers...". If you don't see this item on the menu, you may need to update your software to the latest release.

Then, in the dialog, use the browse button to select the directory that contains your compiled custom protocol analyzer.

Finally, save the dialog and restart the software. Your custom analyzer should now appear in the list of available protocol analyzers!

Logic 2 MacOS Instructions

If you see the following error after restarting the software on MacOS, please follow these extra steps.

1. Open the Terminal (open Spotlight -> search "Terminal" -> press enter)

2. navigate to the directory containing your custom analyzer (e.g. cd ~/Downloads/mylla)

3. run the following command, replacing libYourCustomAnalyzer.dylib with your analyzer's file name:

   install_name_tool -change @executable_path/libAnalyzer.dylib @rpath/libAnalyzer.dylib libYourCustomAnalyzer.dylib

4. close the terminal, and open the Logic 2 application again.

This will change how the custom analyzer library locates the libAnalyzer.dylib library, which has a different relative path than the older Logic 1.x software.

You may see the same error on Linux or Windows. If this happens, there may be a problem with the custom analyzer you are trying to load. Please contact the analyzer author or Saleae support.
