6. Recording Options
While the Recording Wizard provides a "walk through" process for setting 
the recording options, you can get a more detailed view and set more 
parameters through the "Recording Options" dialog box. The Recording 
Options dialog box presents all of the settings needed to make a recording. 
Once you have selected your recording options, you then select the 
recording mode by clicking the down-arrow on the Record button and 
selecting from the two mode options: Piconet and Inquiry. Merlin II will 
then use the relevant Recording Options for the selected mode. For 
example, if you select Piconet recording mode, Merlin II will use the 
options from the Piconet page in the Recording Options dialog box.
6.1 Recording Modes
Pressing the down-arrow on the Record button displays a menu with two 
Recording Modes:
Selecting one of these modes tells the analyzer what sets of Recording 
Options it should use when you begin a recording.
Note: Selecting a Recording Mode from the menu does not cause the 
analyzer to begin recording. To begin recording, you must press the 
Recording button itself. 
Piconet recording
Selecting Piconet, configures Merlin II to record piconet traffic using the 
parameters set in the Piconet page in the Recording Options dialog box. 
When you begin recording in this mode, Merlin II will to try to synchronize 
to a piconet that matches the Piconet parameters set in the Recording 
Options. The recorded traffic is captured off-the-air. 
Inquiry recording
This mode configures Merlin II to record Inquiry traffic. When setting the 
Merlin II to Inquiry recording, the system is ready to perform a Bluetooth 
'General' or 'Dedicated' inquiry, according to the parameters specified in the 
'inquiry' page of the Recording Options. The recorded traffic would consist 
the transmitted packets as well as the responses received from Bluetooth 
devices in the area.
