User’s Manual Overview
1. Overview
The CATC Merlin's Wand™ Bluetooth™ Test Generator is a member of
CATC's industry-leading line of Bluetooth protocol analysis tools and test
equipment.
Preceded by CATC's Merlin™, a Bluetooth Protocol Analyzer, Merlin's
Wand has been designed as an intelligent Bluetooth wireless technology
device that can be used as a verification/validation tester or as an
engineering debug and analysis tool. Through its software interface,
designers and test technicians will be able to quickly and easily issue
protocol commands and test sequences to analyze or validate designs to
ensure compliance to the Bluetooth specification. Merlin’s Wand can be
used in conjunction with the Merlin protocol analyzer, allowing for
real-time captures of test sequence results, as is required by the Bluetooth
SIG to provide evidence of product compliance to the specification.
1.1 Applications
Merlin's Wand is a combination of hardware and Microsoft®
Windows®-based application software. The hardware/software
combination is capable of acting as a standard Bluetooth master or slave
device within a piconet. By allowing this capability, Merlin's Wand can be
used to establish or participate in a piconet and to send or receive data within
the piconet. Through the Merlin’s Wand Profile Wizard, users can quickly
and easily manage Bluetooth wireless traffic generation. Additionally, via
its Command Generator, Merlin's Wand can issue individual Bluetooth
commands to a device under test, allowing a designer to focus his or her
effort on a specific function or group of functions related to the device.
Furthermore, users can quickly create test sequences with Script Manager,
thus eliminating the difficulties normally associated with the creation of
complex test sequences.
