-application does not support "name matching". Instead it's assumed that the
-traces in the input stream match the order of the decoder's input signals,
-or that users explicitly specify the input channel to decoder signal mapping.
+application can automatically assign logic channels to decoder inputs
+in their strict channel index order (by means of the
+.B auto_index
+keyword), or can automatically assign logic channels to decoder inputs
+when their names match (case insensitive match,
+.B auto_names
+keyword). Users need to explicitly request this assignment, the default
+behaviour is to not automatically assign any signals.

+.br
+.B " \-P ieee488:assign_channels=auto_names"
