ystem Requirements
- Bluetooth dongle that works with the standard Bluetooth module of Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8. Currently, 3-party Bluetooth stacks, like Broadcom and BlueSoleil are not supported.
- Windows XP/SP2, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8. Other versions of Windows don't provide a build-in support for Bluetooth, and thus BluetoothLogView cannot work with them.
What can you do with BluetoothLogView ?
If you have neighbors or family members that use a cellular phone with Bluetooth turned on, you can easily find out when they come home and when they leave. A new log line will be added every time that their cellular phone arrives to your area and every time that their cellular phone left your area.
Start Using BluetoothLogView
BluetoothLogView doesn't require any installation process or additional dll files. In order to start using it, simply plug the Bluetooth dongle and then run the executable file - BluetoothLogView.exe
After running BluetoothLogView, it'll constantly scan your area for Bluetooth devices, and it'll add a new log line every time that a new device arrives to your area, and when the device leaves your area.
You can select one or more log items, and then save them into text/xml/csv/html file, by using the 'Save Selected Items' option (Ctrl+S) You can also copy the log lines into the clipboard (Ctrl+C) and then paste them into Excel.
The 'Description' Column
BluetoothLogView allows you to set your own description for every Bluetooth device. The description is saved in the .cfg file, and it'll be displayed under the 'Description' Column every time that this device is detected. In order to set the description, simply double-click the log line and in the Properties window, type the desired description.
