In advanced mode device can detect any Beacon type, the device can be configured to capture data from Universal beacons as seen in the configured in table (The fields in the Beacons Capturing Configuration will be empty), for example this configuration is set to detect iBeacon and EddyStone Beacons, also with additional data(in this case whole packet).
In advanced mode device can detect any Beacon type, the device can be configured to capture data from Universal beacons as seen in the configured in table (The fields in the Beacons Capturing Configuration will be empty), for example this configuration is set to detect iBeacon and EddyStone Beacons, also with additional data(in this case whole packet).
* '''Name''' - particular parameter does not affect Beacon capturing at all. You can name particular beacon capturing line as you wish. Note that if "dot" symbol is placed prior to the name - whole line in the table is disabled and beacons will not be captured;
* '''Manufacturer ID''' - most crucial and important part of the configuration. Device will look for provided ID and capture beacons if ID matches. Manufacturer ID consists of 4 Bytes (8bits) and it is required to write in the table full ID of 4 Bytes. Of course, in some cases Manufacturer ID of some Beacons may be shorter - in such case shorter ID can be configured but do not forget to add zeroes after the ID inside configuration – otherwise configuration will not be valid. Actually any numbers could be written because ID size in found Beacon advertising packet can be configured with further parameters;
* '''Manufacturer ID Offset''' - when device finds advertising packet from a beacon, device will check for the Manufacturer ID in specific part of the packet. Particular parameter commands device from which byte in the advertised packet to look for the ID;
* '''Manufacturer ID Size''' - maximum size is 4 Bytes (''same as maximum configurable parameter in Manufacturer ID''). This parameter indicates how many bytes in found advertising packet after offsetting to check. These bytes must match ID configured in Manufacturer ID section. If bytes match - Beacon advertisement packet is captured, if bytes do not match - packet is neglected;
* '''Beacon ID Offset''' - parameter works the same way as Manufacturer ID Offset but main purpose is to capture e.g. UUID of the beacon because Manufacturer ID never changes on the same provider Beacons;
* '''Beacon ID Size''' - parameter works the same way as Manufacturer ID Size but purpose is to capture specific part or whole e.g. UUID (major, minor);
* '''Additional Data Offset''' and '''Additional Data Size''' - allows to capture specific data of the Beacons advertised packet e.g. battery voltage or status. These additional parameters depend on Beacon type and advertisement packet. In order to capture full packet of the Beacon - Offset can be left at 0 and Size matched by actual length of the advertised packet.
* '''Beacon ID Source'''-
