Figure 4.65 - Coexistence View Legend

The legend describes the color-coding used by packets in the timelines. Selecting a packet in a timeline
highlights the applicable entries in the legend. An entry is bold if any such packets currently exist. Clicking on
a bold entry enables the black legend navigation arrows in the toolbar for that entry.

Figure 4.66 - Coexistence View Timelines

The

show Classic Bluetooth® ,

Bluetooth

low energy, and 802.11 packets by channel and time.

Packet information is provided in various ways as described below.

Packets are color-coded to indicate attribute (Retransmit, Bad Packet, Can’t Decrypt, or Invalid IFS),
master/Tx, technology (Classic Bluetooth® ,

Bluetooth

low energy, or 802.11), and category/type.
