The analyzer employs a powerful all-channel digital radio for Bluetooth capture. Additionally, the analyzer
captures a wide variety of wired traffic, WPAN 802.15.4, and Wi-Fi (if configured and licensed). Consequently,
it is often important to be able to quickly and efficiently filter/drill-down in the analyzer application to isolate
the communications of interest.
The analyzer software provides several methods to filter the various displays to the user’s requirements.
