The 24 pid channel count is not a limit, but a recommendation to achieve the fastest logging frame rate...
( most pids occupy 1 pid channel, some occupy 2, and some 4 )
in Stream-Fast mode logging from an LS1B PCM:
1 to 24 pid channels logs at 10 frames/s
25 to 48 pid channels logs at 5 frames/s
( a frame containing all the pids selected for logging )
