Hi,
I suspect you need a feature such as Arena's engine log window thru which you can input some commands adressed to the relevant engine. The use case would be: play against the engine and once you reach a position you need detailed analysis on, inject the 'eval' command that will dump a number of evaluation criteriae into the log. Either use it immediately, or copy-paste it to some notepad, play a candidate move, and repeat the command to get a refreshed list of evaluation criteriae. Then compare both output, looking for significant changes.
I understand it can be of some interest, yet cumbersome and requiring you perform "manually" a lot of comparison work. I would expect more advanced tools to automatize temporarily storing output and pointing out relevant changes thru a dedicated window display, managed by the software aside the engine itself. Hopefully a next step?
