CATC MERLIN MOBILE 1.00 CHAPTER 7

User’s Manual Decoding Trace Data

DRAFT

Step 3 To find out whether a channel assignment was taken from the recording

(determined by protocol decoder), manually assigned, or is unassigned, click

on the row in the list. The assignment source will be shown in the

Assignment Info area below the list. Manually assigned and unassigned

channels can be configured by the user.

Step 4 Change channel assignments by selecting the assignment in the list, then

clicking one of the protocol buttons on the right side of the dialog OR

selecting a protocol from the Protocol Decoder Assignments drop-down list

and clicking the Set button.

The Trace will update to reflect the new assignments.

7.3.4 OBEX Client/Server Status Decoding Assignments

If the beginning sequence of OBEX traffic is not recorded in a Trace, the client/server status

of the transmitting devices will not be preserved in the recording. In this case, you can use

the Decode As menu to manually assign the status.

Decode As Menu

The Decode As menu is used to assign OBEX client or OBEX server status for decoding

OBEX protocols.

Access this menu by left-clicking on a Type field in an OBEX row in the Trace.

Note: This menu can be accessed only if there are decoded OBEX protocols in the Trace.

The current status setting is the one with a checkmark next to it.

If the menu items are greyed out, it means that Merlin Mobile was able to determine the

status based on data in the Trace. In this case, you cannot manually change the status.

If the menu items are active, it means that Merlin Mobile was unable to determine the status

from the Trace data. In this case, you can change the status, if necessary.

• To change the status assignment, select a different status from the menu.

7.4 CATC Decoder Scripting Files

Several CATC Decoder Scripting files are included with the Merlin Mobile software

installation. These script-based decoders are tools to decode and display Bluetooth message

and protocol data. They can be used as-is or modified by the user. Additionally, you may

create custom decoders. The decoder scripts are written in the CATC Scripting Language

(CSL). For more information about CSL, please consult CATC Scripting Language (CSL)
