2.7.4.2 Tool Execution

The following are the steps for tool execution:
  1. Open the command prompt from the WPS installed location, then run the Microchip_BLE_Sniffer_Tool.exe using the following command Microchip_BLE_Virtual_Sniffer_Tool.exe <"com_port"> <"Baud_Rate"> , for example, Microchip_BLE_Virtual_Sniffer_Tool 23 921600 (see the following figure).
    Note: The recommendation is to configure the virtual sniffer SERCOM at the highest Baud Rate (921600) and fixed to 921600 for efficient usage of the sniffer.
