The Event triggering and filtering options allow you to set event conditions

Additional Timeslot Filtering
By default, Merlin records frequency hop and timestamp information for all
time slots in the Piconet under analysis, regardless of whether the time slot
contained a Bluetooth™ packet. This means that in instances where there
is little piconet traffic, Merlin will display row after row of empty packets
-- each representing an empty time slot. Through the use of timeslot
filtering, these empty packets can be filtered out. Filtering out this
information has the benefit of freeing memory so that more traffic can be
recorded.
