OPERATION BlueSleuth contains 2 independent modules constantly scanning for all nearby bluetooth and bluetooth low energy devices. When BlueSleuth pairs to a BT device, the unit may begin to perform true direction finding of that device. For BLE devices that do not allow for full connection or pairing, BlueSleuth allows for basic signal strength measurement. When first scanning an area for all nearby bluetooth devices, the included omni-directional antenna is recommended. Once all nearby bluetooth devices have been detected, direction finding can be performed by replacing the omni-directional antenna with the directional antenna. For more information on typical detection ranges and environments, see included BlueSleuth data sheet or consult your BVS sales engineer. |
