1. Introduction
The Ellisys line of Bluetooth analyzers include the Bluetooth Explorer™, Bluetooth Tracker™, and Bluetooth
Vanguard™. Each of these analyzers provide an array of features designed to enable various analyses and
characterizations of protocol, performance, and RF behaviors for Bluetooth technology, with model- and edition-
dependent support for capture and analysis of Wi-Fi, WPAN (IEEE 802.15.4), Host Controller Interface (HCI)
standards, and several wired protocols.
In this manual, references are generally made to a singular analyzer, which may be the Bluetooth Tracker,
Bluetooth Explorer, or Bluetooth Vanguard. All analyzers share a unified software application and have several
common hardware and application software characteristics and capabilities. Where differences exist,
distinctions are made to indicate the specific analyzer being referenced.

Major uses for the analyzer include verification of specification conformance and design goals, interoperability
testing, debugging of software stacks and applications, system performance characterizations, and wireless
coexistence analysis.
