Digianswer’s Bluetooth Protocol Analyser is a development kit
that allows you to view Bluetooth protocol data and carry out
fast and effective analysis during the process of developing
Bluetooth equipment.
Basically, the Bluetooth Protocol Analyser consists of a USB-
based hardware unit and a software application called the
Data Collector. With this equipment you can set up a log
session during which you can intercept all the data transmitted
between devices forming a Bluetooth piconet.
Accompanying the Bluetooth Protocol Analyser is a software
application called the Bluetooth Packet Analyser, which is
used for analysing the data logged during a session. The
Bluetooth Packet Analyser can display all the baseband
packets logged, and isolate, decode, and display LMP,
L2CAP, RFCOMM, and SDP packets.
The Bluetooth Packet Analyser works as a plug-in for the Data
Collector module. This is an open interface, which means that
anyone is free to develop alternative Analyser modules for the
Bluetooth Protocol Analyser.
The Bluetooth Protocol Analyser can be used in two
configurations:
•• As an independent unit: In this configuration, the
Bluetooth Protocol Analyser does not participate in the
piconet; it only listens in, logging all baseband packets
transmitted between the master and slaves of the piconet.
•• As a participant in the piconet: In this configuration, the
Bluetooth Protocol Analyser is either the master or a slave
of the piconet. The Bluetooth Protocol Analyser is attached
to a computer running both the Data Collector application
and Digianswer’s Bluetooth Software Suite*. The Data
Collector logs all baseband packets transmitted from the
computer to other participants of the piconet as well as the
packets received by the computer.
Note: While using the Bluetooth Protocol Analyser, it is
advisable not to run any other applications on your
computer –the Bluetooth Software Suite being an
exception.
*Digianswer’s Bluetooth Software Suite is automatically installed on
your computer at the same time as the Bluetooth Protocol Analyser.

The installation procedure includes installing hardware,
drivers, and software applications for the Bluetooth Protocol
Analyser. In addition, Digianswer’s Bluetooth Software Suite
will be installed.
Note: If the Digianswer Bluetooth Demo Card or a
previous version of the Bluetooth Software Suite is
installed on your computer, you must uninstall this before
you can install the Bluetooth Protocol Analyser. See the
subsection “Uninstalling old programs” below.
Installing hardware and drivers
To install the Bluetooth Protocol Analyser hardware and the
drivers for it:
1. Insert the Bluetooth Protocol Analyser CD-ROM.
2. Plug the USB cable of the Bluetooth Protocol Analyser into
an available USB port on the computer. Windows now
finds the new hardware and asks for drivers.
3. Follow the on-screen steps to complete the installation
of the drivers, which are located on the CD-ROM at
D:\Drivers (where D: is your CD-ROM drive).
Note: When you have installed the drivers, Windows will
ask if you want to restart your computer. However, it is not
necessary to restart the computer before installing the
application software.
Note: When you have installed the drivers, your computer
may appear frozen for some 30 seconds.
Note: Do not remove the Bluetooth Protocol Analyser CD-
ROM from your computer until you have installed the
application software.

Installing application software
Having connected the Bluetooth USB Protocol Analyser and
installed the drivers, your are now ready to install the
application software for the Bluetooth Protocol Analyser: the
Data Collector and the Bluetooth Packet Analyser. At the same
time you will be installing Digianswer’s Bluetooth Software
Suite.
1. Run D:\Setup.exe (where D: is your CD-ROM drive,
where the Bluetooth Protocol Analyser CD-ROM is
present).
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the
installation of the application software.
3. Restart your computer.
You are now ready to operate your Bluetooth Protocol
Analyser.
Uninstalling old programs
If the Digianswer Bluetooth Demo Card or a previous version
of the Bluetooth Software Suite is installed on your computer,
you must uninstall this before you can install the Bluetooth
Protocol Analyser.
To uninstall the Bluetooth Demo Card:
1. Insert the Demo Card.
2. Insert the Bluetooth Protocol Analyser CD-ROM.
3. Run D:\deinstaller.exe (where D: is your CD-ROM drive).
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
5. Remove the Demo Card.
6. Restart your computer.
To uninstall the Bluetooth Software Suite:
To uninstall the application software:
1. From the Start menu, find and select Uninstall /
Digianswer Bluetooth Software Suite.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Restart your computer.

To uninstall the drivers:
1. Enter System Properties / Device Manager.
2. Locate and remove the Digianswer Bluetooth
Demo Card Controller and the Digianswer Bluetooth
Ethernet Adapter.
3. Click OK.
Note: At this stage, you may need the original Windows
installation CD-ROM.
Note: The computer may ask if you want to restart your
computer. However, you need to delete the system files
listed below. Therefore, DO NOT RESTART THE
COMPUTER NOW!
4. Start Explorer, enter your \windows\system directory,
and delete the following files:
Dgahci.vxd Dgapcc.sys and Dgapcc32.vxd
Dgal2cap.vxd Dgarfcom.vxd
Dganat.vxd Dgasdp.vxd
Dgandis.vxd Dgausb.vxd and Dgavcomm.vxd
5. Enter the \windows\inf directory and delete the following
files:
Dgahub.inf Dgahub.inf
Dganet.inf Dgausb.inf
Dgapcc.inf Drvdata.bin and Drvidx.bin
6. Enter the \windows\system32\drivers directory and
delete the following files:
Digiusb.sys Dgamap.sys
7. Restart your computer.
You can now install the Bluetooth Protocol Analyser, including
the Bluetooth Software Suite as described in the sections
“Installing hardware and drivers” and “Installing application
software” above.

Features
The purpose of the Data Collector is, basically, to listen in on
the Bluetooth piconet to which it is connected, and create a log
containing all the baseband packets transmitted between the
Bluetooth devices participating in the piconet. With the Data
Collector, you can:
•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 (access error, packet
header error, etc.), estimated clock and hop frequency.
•Transmit and receive on a single user-defined frequency.
•Turn data whitening on and off.
•Select any specified hopping pattern: Europe/USA, Japan,
France, or Spain.
•Start/stop log sessions manually.
