How can I measure the advertising intervals of a peripheral?

I would like to know how frequently my peripheral is sending advertising and data packets. I've tried using ble-sniffer-osx but it doesn't actually reveal any device names for some reason, so it's not trivial to use. Is it possible to do this using Xcode's Bluetooth Explorer utility to do this?

  • ...(3/3) permit to save power on slave (GAP Peripheral) side of the link and in case that there are no higher layers active one or more connection intervals can be "missed" meaning that device will sleep and neither Tx nor Rx activity happens.

    • And to continue with complexity higher standards then BT4.0 introduced features such as PDU length extension, ATT_MTU length extension (just higher layer;) and recently also different on-air speeds (2Mbps) and PHY codings (500/125kbps).

    So this is basic overview. I hope it's more clear why it is hard for us to answer your "simple" questions, they simply doesn't make much sense in BLE context;)
