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.
