Auto Pan button to activate Auto Pan mode. You can tell you are in Auto Pan mode because the
button stays depressed until pressed again.
In Auto Pan, the screens will always ensure that the designated Reference Driver is viewable in
the graph or track map at all time.
Exchanging Information with Traqmate
In order to tune Traqmate to your personal needs, there are several settable options in the

Traqmate Complete, the same options are configurable through Traqview and many are also
configurable through the Display Unit menu system.
To get your sessions into Traqview for playback you must connect to the Traqmate.
