RE: Developing cross-plattform Bluetooth Low Energy desktop application for reading data?

We generally don't support app development as our expertise is mainly in Bluetooth Low Energy, the Nordic products, and Nordic's SDK and other software. I suggest you take a look at the link martonmiklos posted though, as that seems to be exactly what you're looking for. Keep in mind though, that the computers using this application will have to support BLE themselves to be able to scan BLE devices.

I don't know how deep you want to go into how Bluetooth Low Energy works, but the overview from QT gives you a quick intro at least. If you want, you can check out this article which goes a little deeper, or go straight to the source and check out the Bluetooth Core Specifications. Part B chapter 4, section 4.4 should be relevant (not recommended unless you want to deep-dive into the material).

An application such as what you're describing supporting BLE should be able to discover all BLE modules that are openly advertising.

Best regards,

Simon

For cross platform BLE development I recommend Qt.
