Merlin II enables designers to quickly identify and correct design issues as well as assisting manufacturers to prescreen devices for standards compliance and interoperability.
Merlin II is a powerful tool addressing the changing needs of the Bluetooth design and manufacturing communities, supporting the complete capture, decode and analysis of the Bluetooth specification v1.2.
Its small size allows its use in tight workspaces and it can be easily positioned for optimal antenna placement and data capture.
Merlin II has extensive triggering capabilities and robust filtering, enabling the user to focus only on relevant data by avoiding lengthy and laborious searches through captured data.
For extended recording sessions, the analyser can spool data to an external disk drive allowing for virtually unlimited memory capacity.
"We are very excited about the level of demand we are seeing for the Merlin II", stated Fred Rastgar, Director of Computing Products for CATC.
"This is a very powerful analyser with a small form factor that can be used in restricted workspace development environments.
Our customers told us what they needed and we responded with a highly portable and cost-effective analyser that supports the latest Bluetooth specification".
Like all CATC analyser products, the Merlin II uses the powerful CATC Trace expert analysis software to process, decode and analyse captured Bluetooth traffic.
The CATC Trace embeds a deep understanding of the Bluetooth protocol hierarchy and intricacies and presents this information to the user in a colourful, intuitive and easy to use graphical display, allowing customers to quickly discover and correct persistent and intermittent errors and flaws in product designs.
Merlin II is fully compatible with CATC's Merlin, Merlin Mobile and the BTTracer/Trainer Bluetooth analysis systems.
CATC's Merlin II Bluetooth protocol analyser is available for immediate delivery.
