Test technicians will appreciate its ability to measure the required values on an active connection without adding spectrum analyzers to the set up. The tester utilizes the parametric measurement concept. This advanced technology allows measurements to be performed in hopping mode or single frequencies using any desired packet types and bit patterns required during test.

Large Graphical Display

The large graphical display of the CBT32 Bluetooth tester enables users to view traces in real time. The switchable markers allow for analyzing the traces in comprehensive detail. Measurement parameters and other settings are easily varied using the rotary knob, allowing for quick adjustments to the level and the frequency of the measurements. It is also used in changing the positions of the marker. Modulation or spectral characteristics can be precisely measured at different values of transmit power. The power control feature in the TX measurement menus assist the technician efficiently when measuring the spectral characteristics.
