# Trackers

<figure><img src="/files/imXvsuVtjfdJcqS0i6I8" alt=""><figcaption><p>Show Settings - Tracker Config window showing assigned and patched trackers with active boundaries. </p></figcaption></figure>

### Creating a Tracker Patch

By clicking on the "Add Tracker Patch" Atlas will create a blank tracker patch within the window.&#x20;

To assign an incoming tracker ID to that patch enter the numerical identifier as defined within your chosen tracking hardware within the primary patch window.&#x20;

To assign an object to that tracker patch; click on "Add Object" and select the desired object to be controlled under that tracker assignment. &#x20;

It is possible to assign multiple objects to a given tracker facilitating the use of sharing trackers between different performers.&#x20;

A default boundary can be selected if desired; this will automatically apply to the tracker when inserted into the cue list. The chosen boundary can be changed within each cue should a different boundary be required.&#x20;

{% hint style="danger" %}
Atlas will not permit the use of duplicate incoming patch ID's and will display the error message "Patch already in use"
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Multiple objects can be assigned to a single tracker patch allowing for dynamic assignment within the show file.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### Modifying a Tracker Patch

### Deleting a Tracker Patch

Ensure that the patch is disabled. Selecting the waste-bin symbol next the patch will delete it.&#x20;

### Functions Associated with Trackers

{% hint style="info" %}

#### Global Settings

The Global Settings menu facilitates the global enablement/disablement and stabilisation/pass-through settings of all tracker patches.
{% endhint %}

#### Type

This menu allows the selection of the required hardware integration. Currently it is only possible to select one manufacturer within a show file.&#x20;

#### Range Bound / Metered

Atlas will accept either range bound or metered tracking information.&#x20;

#### Add Tracker Patch

Facilitates the addition of a tracker patch into the show file.&#x20;

#### Enable

Enables a tracker patch for use within Atlas.  Unselecting will disable the patch.&#x20;

#### Primary Patch

This determines the numerical ID from the incoming tracking data that Atlas will use.  Support for a redundant/secondary tracker patch is in development.&#x20;

#### Add Object

Facilitates the addition of object(s) to the tracker patch.&#x20;

#### Default Boundary

A default boundary can be selected for an object when it is enabled for use with a tracker within the cuelist. This boundary can be changed on a cue level basis if required.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
If no boundaries have been defined then the only option that will appear is "none".
{% endhint %}

#### Passthrough / Stabliise

Defines whether Atlas is passing tracking data through or using its internal stabilisation algorithm.
