Hi, the friendly name is juberish when using the latest toolkit or is there something I am doing wrong?

Hi @ggasson , that "fiendly name" field is ALL the response data provided by the BLE devices when scanning.
Page 109 in BLE API documentation
In many devices, it contains ASCII characters that allow to identify the device. However as you have seen, other devices just provide data that is not human readable.
To get a the Device Name, you'd need to connect to the device with its MAC, and read the Service:Characteristic 0x1800:0x2A00. This is done in the ble_scan_devices.vi in the toolkit
