In theory, yes. The file format is relatively simple currently, you can create the logic-1 (etc.) files in the .sr (ZIP format) via some scripts if you like... https://sigrok.org/wiki/File_format:Sigrok/v2 > The reason is that the SPI protocol for FT8xx I'm decoding comprises > many commands which are hard to record with a logic analyzer.

The reason is that in many cases you'll have "strange" things in the real-world data that you would miss when generating it programmatically (different timing, certain pins not toggling as you'd expect them to according to assumptions/datasheet, missing bytes, unexpected ordering of commands, various glitches, unexpectedly overlapping commands, etc.). We generally want to have as many real-world traces as possible in order to make all of our protocol decoders decode correctly (or at all) under real-world circumstances.
