All-Channel, Full-Spectrum, Concurrent Synchronous Capture of
Bluetooth 2.1 BR/EDR, Low Energy and HCI traffic

Overview

The Ellisys Bluetooth^® Explorer 400 (BEX400) is a revolutionary Bluetooth protocol analysis system for traffic monitoring, stacks and drivers debugging, interoperability verification and performance analysis. The BEX400 can significantly reduce your R&D development time by finding issues early and debugging more efficiently, and can improve quality and reliability by verifying compliance to the specifications.

Unique Ellisys Features

• Robust capture without unexpected loss of synchronization, ever
• Non-intrusive sniffing – the analyzer does not interact with or disturb piconets under test
• Zero configuration – simply click the record button and start sniffing
• Capture any packet at any time, including all packets from paging, inquiry, and role switch
• Capture an unlimited number of neighboring piconets with a single unit
• Concurrent and synchronous capture of BR/EDR and Low Energy traffic
  with a single unit
• Concurrent and synchronous capture of BR/EDR and HCI traffic
  with a single unit

Ellisys Instant Piconet

Ellisys Instant Piconet is a unique feature that is only made possible by the use of Ellisys Rainbow™ hardware capture technology. As soon as the analyzer starts recording, the Instant Piconet view displays the current topology of physical channel characteristics created by all neighboring devices. Piconets, scatternets, pagings and inquiries are displayed using symbols inspired by the Bluetooth specification and augmented with relevant information: data transfer activity and throughput for both master-slave and slave-master directions, per device RSSI, device names and addresses, etc.

Ellisys Instant Timing

When using the Ellisys analysis application, Ellisys Instant Timing quickly becomes the central feature that one cannot imagine being deprived of, and that makes one wonder how it was ever possible to work without it. This view displays all captured packets as time ordered interactive graphical elements. Length represents duration, while height is proportional to data rate (basic or enhanced). Packets are color-coded for type, master/slave direction, error status, device sending or receiving the packet, etc. Slot durations are also represented.

Ellisys Protocol Overview

The easiest way to access any layer of the complex Bluetooth protocol and profile stack is the Ellisys Protocol Overview. This view displays all desired protocol elements in an easy-to-browse hierarchical tree view. The exact level of protocol decoding is easily configurable. It is searchable at will, and all columns can be used as filtering criteria to drill down data. Any fields displayed in the companion Detail Pane can be added and displayed as a whole column, for instant values comparison and custom filtering.
