Beep When Trigger Occurs
Will cause the PC to beep when a trigger event
has occurred.
Save External Interface Signals
Will enable Merlin II to record input signals from a breakout board as fields
in a trace.
Buffer Size
The Buffer Size box has a slide bar for adjusting the
recording buffer size from 0.4 megabytes to 512
megabytes.
The Recording Type option determines how this buffer is used. Although
there are 512 megabytes of physical memory in the analyzer, the efficiency
of the recording ranges from 2:1 to 4:1 ratios of physical memory to actual
Bluetooth traffic. Shorter Bluetooth packets yield a less efficient recording.
The non-traffic portion of physical memory is utilized for control and timing
information.
Note The scale is not linear and affords more granularity in the smaller buffer sizes.
Trigger Position
The Trigger Position slide bar sets the amount of
post-trigger recording that Merlin II will perform. It
also allows adjustment of the location of the trigger
within the defined buffer. You can adjust the
Triggering Position between 1 and 99% post-Trigger.
Trigger Position is available only when Manual Trigger or Event
Trigger is selected as Recording type.
As an example, if the buffer size is set to 16MB, then for the following
Trigger Position settings, the amount of pre- and post-Trigger data is
• 95% post-triggering: 0.8MB pre-trigger, 15.2MB post-trigger
• 75% post-triggering: 4MB pre-trigger, 12MB post-trigger
• 50% post-triggering: 8MB pre-trigger, 8MB post-trigger
• 25% post-triggering: 12MB pre-trigger, 4MB post-trigger
• 5% post-triggering: 15.2MB pre-trigger, 0.8MB post-trigger
Note When a Trigger occurs, recording continues until the post-Trigger amount of the
buffer is filled.
