No doubt. The software is always literal on the names (for now).
But, what I was asking is if you can overcome the problem like in RS2, where you can select the two different channel names in their own test to open them. If you want them overlaid, you can do it.
What I understood from the previous post was that in Circuit Tools, you are limited to the channel names in the first file opened. Is that correct?

There is no design protocol that allows files produced by an alternate piece of hardware on Circuit Tools 2, so I can't say. That's FergusH's assumption.
No way to change channel names because the templates are fixed, like many other systems.
Will have to ask about that.

If someone opens the first file with a RPM called "Engine_Speed" and a second file with the RPM called "engine_RPM" can you compare those two channels? Are you limited to only selecting the file names from the first file opened?

That's true. I forgot that I have used notepad to access in the .vbo what firmware revision people are using in their machines to record specific files, etc.
I suppose you could change the PTP produced .vbo channel names, but whether the files would open correctly in CT2 is a question mark. And again, what would be the point?

That's not actually correct. Racelogic specifically supports .vbo files from Track Precision. I know there's been some collaboration between the two companies to make sure it works.

Hey Matt,
That’s an interesting question. Based on my playing around today, I think the answer is yes: you could compare two Vbox files from two different cars that name channels differently. You’d have to make one of the .vbo files match the other, making all the channel names consistent. I imagine there’s only a few you care about, so it would only be a few minutes of work.
It would be nice to be able to do this in the Vbox Video app, when you’re building a scene file, so that the channel names are the same between cars without having to do any editing. I think that info would be in the .ref files but those files are encrypted so there’s probably not much chance of changing them. Racelogic might do it for you if you asked nicely.
