Ellisys Bluetooth Explorer 400 - Display Filters

Bluetooth Explorer 400
8. Display Filters
The Bluetooth Explorer 400 employs an extremely powerful all-channel digital radio, resulting in
capture of all BR/EDR and LE traffic in the vicinity, along with any attached HCI, logic signals,
Audio I2S, raw spectrum energy, and/or WCI-2 traffic. Consequently, it is often important to
be able to quickly and efficiently filter/drill-down to particular piconets, LE connections, or other
particular communications of interest.
The analyzer software provides several simple and convenient methods to filter the various
displays to the user’s requirements.
On the Welcome Screen, (

Note entitled
EEN_BT08 – Separating the Wheat from the Chaff for more
