nRF52 BLE Sniffer

[Hanumanthappa]

Hi All, 

        We use nRF52 BLE Sniffer.Its working fiine.  Please letus know, weather its possible to sniff multiple BLE devices at a time using single Sniffer. If possible, let us know how to do it. (If any settings in Display Filters or Device selection is to be made)

Hi, 

Yes, it is possible. Please refer to nRF Sniffer User Guide v2.1, p.12 Capturing from multiple hardware interfaces/boards.

I dont want to use multiple Hardware interfaces(Multiple Sniffers). I want to use single Hardware Interface(Single Sniffer) and want to sniff more than one BLE devices at a time(simultaneously)

Hi, 

Once the Sniffer is running, it reports advertisements and lists nearby devices in the Device List. Please also see p.10 All advertising devices section.

Ya, when sniffer is running, it reports all nearby advertising devices. If I want to sniff a particular device by pairing it with another device, I will select the required device in the "Device" drop down list and then I can sniff the packets through that device after pairing with someother device. In the same way, can I sniff multiple devices even after pairing, using only one Hardware Interface(Sniffer) ?????

Hi, 

If the devices are paired, it will show as Master and Slave as the following figure.
