The BTWYG Patch widget is where patching information from BTWYSIWYG is displayed. In BTWYSIWYG, BlackTrax Trackable Frames are created and patched to a DMX and Motion Universe for motion control. The BlackTrax System tracks the position and location of the Trackable Frames in real-time. See Patching Trackables in BTWYSIWYG for more information.
