Hi,

Unfortunately, our sniffer don't support sniffing on secondary channels.

Hi Mttrinh ,

Is there any nordic product / board which we can use as sniffer to sniff secondary channels?

Hi,

No, you won't be able to capture secondary channels, the sniffer only scans the three primary advertising channels (37, 38, and 39).

[quote user=""]Is it possible to configure nRF51 sniffer application to additionally sniff packets from specific data channel ? (Like channel 31)[/quote]

So by default the sniffer will hop between channels 37,38 and 39. If you want the sniffer to only capture packets from only one of the primary channels, I think in the nrf sniffer interface you can change the values in "Adv Hop" to for example 37, 37, 37.
