Tracking configurations (configs) are a way of storing tracking specific settings and information. A tracking configuration includes:

- The saved point cloud and world alignment of the scene 
- The CamBar offset 
- All tracking and CamBar settings, such as IR strength and Delay

A tracking config does not alter “System” settings such as Network or Datastream configuration options. 

# Opening A Tracking Config

Tracking configs can be opened from the “Tracking” tab of the user interface

This screen will display all the currently available tracking configs. 

If a particular config is marked as “active” this means it is loaded and tracking using that config. Selecting a different config will stop the tracking temporarily while the newly selected config is loaded. 

# Unloading A Tracking Config

From the dashboard, it’s possible to return to the tracking config window by selecting the back arrow from the upper left of the dashboard
