💖 UBERTOOTH-SPECAN(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a User Commands page — meaning it lives in section 1 of the manual (the "you type this in a terminal" section). it's literally the glow-up of ubertooth-specan, and i'm about to explain it to you like we're texting at 2am. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ubertooth-specan — it's a spectrum analyzer, but for Ubertooth. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 📡

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

ubertooth-specan [-l <freq>] [-u <freq>] [-g|G]

look at her. so simple. so iconic. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ubertooth-specan(1) is the tool you use when you want to make your Ubertooth act like a spectrum analyzer for the 2.4GHz band. no cap, that's the whole point of it.

it's lowkey the bestie of GUI tools — it gets called in as a helper by stuff like ubertooth-specan-ui or Spectools. and she's flexible too, because she can also spit out output that's formatted for use with the feedgnuplot tool. multi-talented fr fr. 💅

also? there are other options that let you set upper and lower bounds on the frequencies she's monitoring. full deets are down in the [OPTIONS][] section, so scroll, babe. 👇

✨ OPTIONS ✨

here's the whole menu, no skips, no cuts:

  • -l — lower frequency (the default is 2402)
  • -u — upper frequency (the default is 2480)
  • -g — format the output for feedgnuplot
  • -G — format the output for 3D feedgnuplot (yes she does dimensions now 🧊)
  • -d<filename> — output to file <filename>
  • -v — print verbose output to stderr
  • -U<0-7> — set which ubertooth device to use

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

so you wanna monitor the 2.4GHz band and produce a file suitable for feedgnuplot? say less:

ubertooth-specan -g -d output.dat

and if you only want the upper half of the 2.4GHz band? she's got you:

ubertooth-specan -l 2440
