Using BTWYSIWYG as a Tracking
Visualizer
Tracking data can be visualized in BTWYSIWYG. Viewing tracking data is useful for troubleshooting.
Seeing fixtures and Trackables move in BTWYSIWYG based on the data helps determine if data is actually
being transmitted. There could be problems in the BTSystem connections if there is no activity
in BTWYSIWYG.
