Getting Started
This section contains a description of the Tektronix BPA100
Bluetooth Protocol Analyzer, the system re quirements, a list of the
product components, and procedures for installing and uninstalling
the application software.
Product Overview
The Bluetooth Protocol Analyzer facilitates the development of
Bluetooth devices by providing a tool that can nonintrusively and
independently intercept the baseband traffic, log, decode, and
analyze the packet data transmitted and received over a Bluetooth
piconet. The Bluetooth Protocol Analyzer also can function as a
prototype debug tool that is capable of participating in a pi conet,
either as a master or a slave, to initiate various modes of operation,
introduce intentional errors, and act as a known reference device.
The Bluetooth Protocol Analyzer consists of a Blue tooth Air Probe
with USB connector, a custom USB cable, a CD-ROM containing
application software, and a user manual (see Figure 1-- 1 on
page 1--7).

Bluetooth Protocol Analyzer Configurations
The Bluetooth Protocol Analyzer can be used in two configurations:
independent mode or piconet mode.
BPA100 Bluetooth Protocol Analyzer User Manua l
1- 5
Getting Started
Independent Mode. Configured as an independent unit, the Bluetooth
Protocol Analyzer does not interact directly in the piconet. Instead,
after synchronizing to the piconet, it passively monitors the piconet,
logging all baseband packets transmitted between the master and the
slaves of the piconet. By using advanced triggering and filter
features, you can select data of interest to be logged and analyzed
after the session is completed. These features are discussed in detail
in the Operating Basics section.
Piconet Mode. Configured as a participa nt i n the piconet, the
Bluetooth Protocol Analyzer uses a fully-protocol stack and
participates as the master or a slave in the piconet.
As a master, the Bluetooth Protocol Analyzer logs all baseband
packets between itself and the piconet slave device(s). When set up
as a slave, it logs all packets between itself and the piconet master
device as well as between the master and all other slave devices.
System Requirements
To install and use the application software for the Bluetooth Protocol
Analyzer, it is recommended that your system meet the following
minimum requirements:
H Computer with a Pentium III (500 MHz or faster); a slower
microprocessor can be used but the Data Collector will operate
slower when Free Run mode is used
H Microsoft Windows 98, ME, or 2000 operating system

Operating Basics
This chapter describes the features and basic menus for the
Bluetooth Data Collector and the Bluetooth Packet Analyzer
applications.
Data Collector Operation
The purpose of the Bluetooth Data Collector is to monitor the
Bluetooth piconet to which it is connected and to create a log
containing all the baseband packets transmitted between the
Bluetooth devices participating in the piconet. With the Data
Collector, you can:
H Operate as a member of a piconet, as a stand-alone (independent)
unit, or independent with data decryption
H Select the master or slave to which the Bluetooth Protocol
Analyzer is synchronized
H Set the time for which the Protocol Analyzer tries to synchronize
to a piconet master
H Capture all baseband packets transmitted within a Bluetooth
piconet–including packets that are normally not visible for the
host, such as retransmitted packets–and view the status of each
packet and estimated clock and hop frequency
H Select any specified hopping pattern: Europe/USA, Japan,
France, or Spain
H Transmit and receive on a singl e user-defined frequency
H Set a correlation value
H Turn data whitening on and off
H Output data to a log file or view as a real-time display
H Start or stop log sessions manually
H Enable data decryption in Piconet or Indepe ndent Mode.
BPA100 Bluetooth Protocol Analyzer User Manua l
