To save as a profile, select Save Profile or Save Profile As from the File menu.13.
Tip: You can also export the BTSensor calibration data. See To export a calibration CAL file.
To set BlackTrax BTSensor beam length
Attention: The Maximum distance should be the largest distance between a BTSensor and the furthest
tracking boundary. The minimum distance should be the shortest distance between a BTSensor and the
closest tracking boundary.
Note: After BTSensor calibration, Motive automatically determines these values with estimates of
acceptable tracking distances. You may override these values at any time, but if you re-calibrate these
fields will be re-populated.
In Motive, change the layout to Running preset. From the Layout menu, choose Running.1.
Tip: You may click the drop-down box at the right hand side of the main toolbar and click
Running from the drop-down menu of layout presets.
In the Application Settings window, click the Live Reconstruction tab.2.
On the Reconstruction Settings section of the Live Reconstruction tab, set the Maximum Ray3.
Length field to the desired maximum length.
On the Reconstruction Settings section of the Live Reconstruction tab, set the Minimum Ray Length4.
field to the desired minimum length.
To save as a profile, choose Save Profile or Save Profile As from the File menu.5.
Result: The beam length of BTSensors will be set. BTSensors will only acknowledge
BTBeacons within this range.

Limiting Tracking Within Boundaries
In Motive, as an optional step, you can create a boundary around the Space. The boundary will tell the
system to ignore infrared sources outside this boundary. BTBeacon positional data found outside the
boundary will not be sent downstream to other applications.
