BTTracer Protocol Analyzer Users ManualCATC Version 1.0
To perform a "Sync and Record", follow the steps below:
Step 1 Turn on the Bluetooth™ devices under observation, and set up the
master device so it is ready to respond to Inquiry scan. For a typical
recording, ensure that the Master and Slave device(s) are not yet
connected.
Step 2 In the Modes tab under Recording Options, enter the Master
Device’s address.
Step 3 Start BTTracer recording by pressing REC icon in the
toolbar.
Step 4 When the analyzer is able to Sync up to the Piconet Master Clock,
the Green Sync LED in the BTTracer front panel will start
blinking.
Step 5 Establish connection between the Bluetooth™ devices under
analysis.
Step 6 When BTTracer senses Piconet traffic, the Green Sync light goes
ON solid, recording starts and the status bar in the bottom of the
analyzer screen shows activity.
Recording may be stopped manually or when the recording buffer is filled.
Note After the Sync light starts blinking, a connection between the
Bluetooth™ devices should be established within one (1) minute.

synchronize to the piconet controlled by that Master.
"Passive Sync and Record" is designed to be used with established piconets
or private device networks.
