Introduction
The Ellisys Bluetooth Explorer 400, employing the revolutionary Ellisys Rainbow™ All-Channel
Capture Technology, is a full-spectrum protocol analysis system which provides for concurrent
and synchronous capture and analysis of Classic Bluetooth technology (BR/EDR) and Bluetooth
low energy (LE) technology (Bluetooth Smart), as well as Host Controller Interface (HCI) traffic,
logic signals, wireless spectrum information, Audio I2S (Inter-IC Sound), and Wireless
Coexistence Interface traffic (WCI-2).
The analyzer non-intrusively records all neighboring Bluetooth traffic, RF energy within the
Bluetooth spectrum, and any attached HCI, WCI-2, Audio I2S, or logic signals and presents this
captured traffic to the user in easy-to-understand and comprehensive formats, using the
associated BEX400 software application.
Captured traffic is presented real-time to the user, and includes various advanced analytical
presentations, including detailed packet, profile, and protocol information, protocol error
detection, topology analysis, security features, throughput characterizations, audio analysis,
timing characterizations, transmission errors, spectrum energy characteristics, and other
related information.
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.
