Bluetooth Protocol Analyzers

LeCroy Merlin Bluetooth Analyzer

Merlin is a powerful Bluetooth protocol analyzer. For long recording sessions, the analyzer can spool data to an external disk drive for extended memory capacity. Merlin has a small form factor that makes it ideal for use in tight workspaces and easy to position for optimal antenna placement and data capture. Merlin II features extensive triggering and robust filtering capabilities, enabling the user to focus only on relevant data and avoid lengthy and laborious searches through captured data. The analyzer can spool data to an external disk drive to provide large virtual memory of long recording sessions. Merlin leverages the sophisticated and intuitive CATC Trace analysis software system to enable Bluetooth developers to quickly pinpoint problems with an easy-to-use graphical interface.

• CATC Trace Analysis Software System - De-facto industry standard speeds up interpretation and debug of Bluetooth traffic.
• Extensive Protocol and Profiles Decoding - Automatically decodes: Baseband, HCI, LMP, L2CAP, SDP, TCS, RFCOMM, OBEX, AT commands, HCRP, HDLC, BNEP, HID, AVCTP, AVDTP, Handsfree and PPP (including LCP, CCP, CHAP, NBFCP, NetBIOS), IPv4, IPv6, TCP & UDP.
• Disk Spooling - Spool data to hard drive allowing for long recording sessions and short uploading time.
• Automatically Decodes Encrypted Traffic - Decodes entire piconet without requiring the need to participate in the piconet.
• Completely Non-Intrusive - Record piconet traffic using one of the analyzers many non-intrusive recording modes.
• Automatic Device Listing - Capture and store device information automatically; allows editing of device data including encrypted data for repeatable test benchmarks.
• Intelligent Reporting - Quickly identify and track errors, abnormalities or time-sensitive conditions (i.e. Hold, Park, SCO, eSCO, AFH and Master/Slave Switch).
• Sophisticated Viewing - Selectively view Bluetooth protocol layers (from a single layer to all layers).
• Real-time Viewing & Analysis - View, mark and analyze Bluetooth traffic while recording or monitoring a piconet.
• Advanced Triggering - Isolate important traffic, specific errors or data patterns.
• Hardware Filtering - Faster analysis by removing non-essential fields from the trace.
• Highly Portable - Ideal for use in tight workspaces and easy positioning for optimal antenna placement and data capture. Can be powered via PS/2 port for added portability.
