Welcome to the MantaTrace Packet Sniffer user guide.MantaTrace is a cross-platform desktop application that captures and decodes wireless traffic from USB sniffer hardware in real time. It supports three protocol families:
UWB (FiRa) – capture, decrypt and decode UWB ranging sessions (Static STS), with session auto-learning and configurable PHY settings.
Bluetooth LE – advertising and data channel capture with ATT/GATT decoding and connection following.
Wireless M-Bus (OMS) – metering traffic with full OMS stack decoding and Mode 5 / 7 / 10 decryption.
Key features covered in this guide:
Real-time packet preview list with per-interface colour coding and aligned timestamps
Packet decrypt and raw data windows for detailed inspection
Filters (address, service UUID, RSSI, session ID)
Saving and opening capture files
External Trigger – fire a hardware GPIO pulse when a user-defined packet sequence is observed
Time sync – align timestamps across multiple sniffer boards
Analysis panels: UWB slot timeline, Energy Detect (RSSI) and Spectrum Scan
This documentation provides a high-level overview of the application and explains each part of the user interface.
