When a new BTWYG project is created from BlackTrax, DMX universes are automatically created and patched to BlackTrax 1:1 by default.

You can also patch the DMX universes to the BlackTrax Network in the Device Manager window in BTWYG.

After universes are created, be it motion or DMX, this information will need to be patched to BlackTrax. This will inform BlackTrax which of its ports are in use and which ports will transmit information.
