Compact, easy-to-use Bluetooth tool is USB-powered offering no hassle decoding

22-05-2017 | Saelig | Test & Measurement

Saelig Company has announced the availability of the BPA low energy Bluetooth Protocol Analyzer from Teledyne LeCroy - a powerful, portable protocol analyzer for wireless transmissions that adhere to Bluetooth low energy specifications. Ideal for field or lab use, the BPA low energy analyzer is USB powered, eliminating the need for an external power supply. This analyzer supports all of the mandatory Bluetooth low energy features through Bluetooth version 4.2, and ships with Frontline software allowing Bluetooth developers the ability to see events as they occur live, decoding and decrypting the Bluetooth data for full analysis and troubleshooting issues. Smaller than a deck of cards (3.5" x 1.75" x 0.71"), this analyzer decodes all Bluetooth low energy traffic - including advertising packets, data packets, and LL control packets. It scans all three advertising channels concurrently, allowing a single analyzer to detect connection requests from initiators on any of the three advertising channels. Once the connection is established, the BPA low energy analyzer follows the link across all Bluetooth low energy channels, capturing and displaying information sent back and forth the between connected devices or piconets, decrypting and decoding the data transmitted and received by the devices using various profiles and protocols. With the analyzer, setup is easy and does not require synchronization to devices. For coping with proprietary wireless protocols, the BPA low energy ships with DecoderScript software, which enables proprietary data to be fully decoded and displayed in the Frontline software along the other Bluetooth profiles and protocols. Developers of Bluetooth low energy wireless technology will appreciate the BPA low energy's no-hassle device setup for decoding - just plug the analyzer into a PC's USB port and it is ready for reliable development and problem solving. Engineers will find this analyzer invaluable as they create and debug innovative wireless Bluetooth low energy enabled products.
