Merlin II Protocol Analyzer User’s Manual

CATC

SW Version 2.50

After sync is established, Merlin II will remain in sync as long as there is
piconet traffic.

6.5 Recording Options - HCI

The HCI property page lets you configure the analyzer to record HCI traffic.
HCI traffic consists of commands, events and data exchanged between a
Bluetooth controller and a Bluetooth host.

HCI traffic is captured by a CATC-provided HCI probe that connects the
Merlin II host PC and the IUT hardware. In this setup, the probe taps the
signal in the IUT and transfers it to the Merlin II application.

In a typical setup, the HCI commands and data are passed from the
Bluetooth application to the Bluetooth baseband (Host to Controller), while
the received events and data are passed from the Bluetooth application
(Controller to Host). It is also possible to forgo the probe and connect an
IUT to several ports on the host PC.

See Appendix B for details about connecting a IUT to the PC and for
information about configuring this page for an HCI recording.
