PCAN Explorer 5.4.0 with the plotter addon:
When using CAN messages with a multiplexer all non-multiplexed signals, which are sent with every message, appear as different instances. The first one has its original name, the second one has _1 added to its name. The multiplexed signals only appear once, of course.

Example:
If the message looks like this:

• SignalA
  SignalB
  Mux
  MuxedSignalA (Mux = 0)
  MuxedSignalB (Mux = 0)
  MuxedSignalC (Mux = 1)
  MuxedSignalD (Mux = 1)

I get the following signals:

• SignalA
  SignalA_1
  SignalB
  SignalB_1
  MuxedSignalA
  MuxedSignalB
  MuxedSignalC
  MuxedSignalD

But what I expected was:

• SignalA
  SignalB
  MuxedSignalA
  MuxedSignalB
  MuxedSignalC
  MuxedSignalD

As these are signle signals they should not be splitted into different instances. It's not possible to plot them continously. Either all instances must be plotted over each other, which does not look good and is extra work, or only one instance is used, causes data loss.

Is there an option to tell PCAN Explorer to keep these signals as one instance? If not please treat this as a bug and fix it in the next version.
