When you select the Update Firmware on the BPA Low Energy datasource information tab, the Update
BPA low energy ComProbe firmware dialog appears. You use this dialog to update your low energy analyzer
with the latest firmware.
It is very important that you update the firmware. If the firmware versions are not the same, you will not be able
to start sniffing.

3.2 Decoder Parameters
Some protocol decoders have user-defined parameters. These are protocols where some information cannot be
discovered by looking at the data and must be entered by the user in order for the decoder to correctly decode
the data. For example, such information might be a field where the length is either 3 or 4 bytes, and which length
is being used is a system option.
There may be times when the context for decoding a frame is missing. For example, if the analyzer captures a
response frame but does not capture the command frame, then the decode for the response may be incomplete.
The Set Initial Decoder Parameters window allows you to supply the context for any frame. The dialog allows
you to define any number of parameters and save them in a template for later use
The decoder template function provides the capacity to create multiple templates that contain different
parameters. This capability allows you to maintain individual templates for each Bluetooth® network monitored.
Applying a template containing only those parameters necessary to decode transmissions particular to an
individual network, enhances the efficiency of the analyzer to decode data.
If you have decoders loaded which require decoder parameters, a window with one tab for every decoder that
requires parameters appears the first time the decoder is loaded.
