Using the Auto-Segmentation Feature

The Bluetooth Explorer 400 includes an automatic method to restart successive captures based
on a specified period of time or number of bytes captured. Bluetooth contextual information,
such as connection parameters are maintained from capture to capture. This feature can be
quite useful for reducing one very long capture into several smaller, more manageable
captures, and can provide extremely long capture duration.
An indicator is provided on the toolbar to indicate the progress of the current capture, based on
a ratio of capture volume to a maximum capture time or maximum capture bytes, as specified
by the user.
Successive captures are automatically time/date stamped, and placed in a user-defined
directory. File names may be provided a user-defined prefix and suffix.
As a capture progresses, the user may elect to manually stop the current capture and initiate
the next capture, using the Save and Continue button on the toolbar.
To enable auto-segmentation:
1. Select Record | Recording Options from the menu (or select the Configure button on
the toolbar to open Recording Options directly to the Capture Management tab).
2. Select the Capture Management tab.
on the toolbar or alternatively, select Record | Restart Recording
