    Abstract: A system is disclosed for displaying one or more lists of signal or bus identifiers on a graphical user interface of a logic analyzer. One of the lists is visually associated with one name of a list of signal or bus names. The system enables a user to graphically select one or more desired identifiers of the one or more lists of signal or bus identifiers.
