Tracking Mode Settings
After BTSensors are calibrated, minor adjustments need to be entered in Motive for the system to switch
from BTSensor calibration to tracking mode. These settings enable fixture tracking to occur. Once
tracking mode is configured, no changes to the Motive project are needed unless BTSensors were moved
or bumped since BTSensor calibration.

Note: The Input Monitor section can be used to immediately check if the TimeKeeper is connected
correctly to the eSync and Motive. In the Reserved field of the Input Monitor section, there should be a
value of around 100 Hz (or close to this number). This means Motive is receiving the TimeKeeper sync
signal. If this number is not in the range of 99.998 - 100.004 Hz (or close) there may be a configuration
issue with the TimeKeeper, and you should report the issue to a BTE to be resolved.
Note: If you experience Tracking issues after configuring these settings, reset Motive Settings from the
BlackTrax GUI. If your issue is not resolved, please contact BlackTrax support for further assistance.
