Managing Calibration Data
Fixture calibration data can be saved as a calibration file separate from the BlackTrax project. Calibration
can be saved as a BlackTrax Calibration file (.btcal) which can be read by BlackTrax, or as an XML file for
third-party use. Calibration profiles saved as .btcal files can be loaded and edited as needed in a project.
Fixture calibration data from any preset can be exported or imported into any preset you are
currently in.
The calibration data that was imported becomes part of the preset you are currently in.
The calibration data that was imported remains part of any other presets where data has been
exported from or into already.
Attention: BlackTrax cannot use XML calibration files to further calibrate fixtures. Fixture calibration
saved to this format is only for third party use.
