Using Motive to Aim BTSensors

Motive for BlackTrax  »  Initial Setup  »  Using Motive to Aim BTSensors

For tracking to occur, BTSensors must be positioned around the perimeter of the tracking area and aimed towards the area. Tracking occurs in an area when two or more BTSensors view the same area at the same time. A video feed of what BTSensors see is shown in Motive. By viewing the BTSensor’s video feed in the visible spectrum, BTSensor positioning can be evaluated.

Attention: The Space origin must be visible to at least two BTSensors for sensor calibration to function correctly.

Note: To quickly see a BTSensor’s video feed in the visible spectrum, change the preset setting of the BTSensor to Reference. See To select a preset setting for a BTSensor for more information.
