About UmitBT
================
UmitBT is a GUI based Bluetooth device scanner which does manufacturer detection.
With UmitBT, not only are you able to probe for Bluetooth enabled devices, but
also perform Service Discovery scans and identify the device based on the 
manufacturer of the device. The devices are then mapped out graphically based 
on the devices manufacturer.

Installing UmitBT
================
Windows:
Use the integrated installer.Check http://umitbt.umitproject.org for more info.

Linux and Mac OSX:
To use UmitBT, you will need a version of PyBluez[1] if your on GNU Linux 
or LightBlue[2] if your using Mac OSX.
-To install.
$ python setup.py
-To run UmitBT
$ umitbluetooth

Using UmitBT
================
By default, Service Discovery Protocol scan is turned off. To enable SDP scan, 
click on the SDP option under Preference or alternatively use the <ctrl> + S hotkey. 
Do take note that SDP scanning would take a considerable amount of time to complete 
depending on the amount of the  devices. Once the devices have been probed, the 
respective devices are mapped out. To view the information associated to the device 
such as device name, manufacturer and even the SDP scan info, do double-click on the 
respective icon. UmitBT loads or saves results on a ubt file. A ubt file(*.ubt) 
created is unique to UmitBT.


Have fun!
