Now detect logic level changes

with Sodera Logic Analyzer

Now you can capture logic signal level changes and display them in sync with Bluetooth packets. Effortlessly capture the logic level changes and then analyze them relative to captured Bluetooth traffic in the renowned Frontline Bluetooth protocol analyzer software.

Using the Sodera unit probes, connect directly to the logic hardware in your device under test. The Sodera will capture the changes in logic level, package the logic event into packets, and displays those packets in the protocol analyzer displays. You can see the timestamped logic level packets in the Frame Display along with the Classic Bluetooth , Bluetooth low energy, HCI UART and USB traffic. Quickly and efficiently discover and correct hardware issues, and cut your time to market for your device development.

Looking for a more efficient way to analyze Bluetooth audio related problems? Frontline now offers the Audio Expert System as an add-on to the ComProbe Sodera. The Audio Expert System will identify audio related events—Bluetooth protocol, codec, and audio—from the captured data. The system points to packets that are related to the events, thereby reducing the time spent searching through a “haystack” of packets and frames. In the end you save time and money by reducing your workload. The right tool can make all the difference when trying to fix or resolve a problem. Using the right tool can save money, ease frustration, and save a lot of time. This is definitely the case when troubleshooting Bluetooth protocol-related audio quality issues

The Audio Expert System operates in live capture or from a previously captured file. The audio stream or multiple streams are displayed along with markers and an event table. The markers show event type as Bluetooth, codec, or audio and event severity as “information”, “warning”, or “error”.

Synchronize your Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Capture

Analyzing simultaneous Wi-Fi and Bluetooth air capture is difficult unless there is a synchronization of the timestamping. Frontline Sodera, 802.11 and BPA 600 make this easier than ever with the ProbeSync function.

When the two of these analyzers are interconnected, one provides a master clock to the other analyzer. By using the same clock to capture the two different technologies the timestamps are synchronized. You can be assured that a Bluetooth packet captured at a specific time is exactly synchronized to a Wi-Fi packet with the same timestamp. This makes analysis of events easier saving time.

The Frontline software provides a Coexistence View where you can simultaneously observe the Classic Bluetooth, Bluetooth low energy, and 802.11 packets in a single display. The Coexistence View provides timeline and throughput views and data displays.
