Turn on clusters and pair with a Beacon
1. On the cluster, press the power button to turn it on. (Note that it is
easiest to match physical labels with entries in the System tab if you
turn on clusters one at a time.)
The cluster automatically searches for a radio channel with a Beacon
pairing broadcast. It records the radio channel for communication with
this Beacon. This record persists when the cluster is turned off.
In Evoke, on the System tab, in the Active
Cluster section, a Cluster
entry is displayed.
2. Ensure that the cluster connection status is
blue
(connected but not
programmed with a marker pattern).

Note that the cluster battery level is indicated by status icon.

If any other icon is displayed, see
to
troubleshoot possible issues.
3. Assign a tracking object (LED pattern) to the cluster. To do this, on the
System tab, select a cluster and from the Pattern
drop-down menu,
choose the corresponding object pattern.
Note that a cluster can be assigned a pattern from any object, but to
avoid confusion it is best to label clusters according to their intended
location (e.g. Green_Hand_L or Red_Backpack_Top) and name objects
accordingly.
When you have assigned a pattern to the cluster:
• The pattern error icon clears from cluster entry.
• The cluster connection status turns
green
(active with LEDs turned
on).
4. To confirm that the object is tracked and labeled correctly, check that
in the 3D Scene view, the object model is drawn and its label matches
the associated cluster(s).
5. When you have paired all the clusters, turn off pairing mode. To do this,
on the System tab select Beacon and set Pairing Mode to Off.
Cluster settings are stored in the System file (by default located at
C:

). Object settings are stored in the Subjects file (by default
located at

<username>
\LastRu
n.Subjects
). Settings are auto-saved on exit.
