Space, creating different pan and tilt angles. It is recommended to take measurement
points in different areas of the Space and at different heights, creating the most
variation.
Points should be collected until the fixture is calibrated (typically 5-8 but sometimes
more). The fixture will auto-calibrate after each point once 5 points have been
achieved. Auto-calibration feature can be turned off in settings.
Collecting Calibration Data for Multiple Fixtures
Multiple fixtures can be calibrated at the same time to speed up the fixture calibration process. It may be
easier to first assign the desired fixtures into a single fixture group. The fixtures are calibrated as normal
by capturing measurement points for each fixture, but with the additional ability to cycle through the
fixtures in the fixture group.
To create a fixture group
In the Fixtures section, select the fixtures that need to be calibrated.1.
In the Group drop-down list, select New Group From Selected....2.
Result: The New Fixture Group window appears.
In the New Fixture Group window, enter a name for the fixture group in the Group Name field.3.
Click OK.4.
Result: The selected fixtures are joined in a fixture group.
To collect measurement points for multiple fixtures
In BlackTrax, in the Fixture Calibration View, in the Fixtures section, select the Preset number from1.
the Preset: drop-down list. You may click Rename to type a new name for the selected preset.
Note: The preset numbers displayed will not change.

you want to calibrate.
A BTBeacon will need to be used to calibrate the fixtures. Click Assign Beacon to view a drop-down3.
list of all available BTBeacons.
Select the desired BTBeacon from the drop-down list.4.
Result: The selected fixture will follow the selected BTBeacon in the Space.
In the Physical Space, take the chosen BTBeacon. Make sure that a single Stringer is connected to5.
port 1 of the BTBeacon.
Move the BTBeacon to a point within the Space.6.
Result: The first fixture of the selected fixture group should be following the BTBeacon in the
Space. All fixtures will follow the BTBeacon in the Space. Only the active fixture will turn on,
the rest are doused.
Attention: The LED of the Stringer must be visible to 2 or more BTSensors simultaneously
for tracking to occur.
At a point in the Space with the fixture following the BTBeacon, in BlackTrax click Freeze Beam.7.
Tip: Pressing the A button on the BTBeacon being tracked will activate Freeze Beam
remotely.
Result: The fixture will stop in place.
Attention: You will not be able to use Freeze Beam if the BTBeacon is not tracked within the
Space.
