Motive Project File
A BlackTrax project requires specific information (BTSensor, calibration and configuration) from Motive,
that is unique to every BlackTrax project. This information is required every time BlackTrax operates.

In Motive, recorded motion capture data is stored as a Take (.tak) file format, all application-related
configurations are saved onto Profile XML (.xml) files, and calibration data for each BTSensor position,
orientation and lens parameters are saved as standalone calibration CAL (.cal) file format.
In Motive, profile and calibration data are automatically saved into the ProgramData folder and
automatically reloaded when Motive is opened again.
In Motive, profile data is automatically saved once every five minutes and calibration data is
automatically saved whenever calibration is updated (such as in Continuous Calibration).

Data window.
