Saleae Logic 8 - Long Term Capture for Current and Voltage Logging (Python Script)

continuous_capture.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3

# One common issue is that Saleae records traces into memory, which means that
# it can't handle very long captures. This example shows how to use scripting to
# do long recordings over time. There will be brief gaps every time Saleae saves
# the old recording and starts a new one.
