145 145  
146 -1. Navigate to Settings > Load Configura
146 +1. Navigate to Settings > Load Hardware
147 +1. Select the Pharos controller from the list of load controllers on the left
148 +1. Press "Configure Scene Tracking"
149 +1. Tick the "Enable Scene Tracking" box to enable scene tracking
150 +1. Select an area whose scenes you want to trigger Timelines from the "Area to Track" list
151 +1*. Note that the area selected does not actually need any loads assigned to it
152 +1*. Pharos fixture groups do not need to be defined as loads in ShowRunner™ at all if scene tracking is being used to control fixtures
153 +1. With the area selected, press "Add New Map"
154 +1. Select the scene you want to trigger the Timeline from the list of scenes
155 +1. Enter the number of the Timeline as defined in the Pharos project in the "Timeline ID" field

159 +Some things to consider if you are triggering Pharos Timelines with ShowRunner™:
148 148  
149 -Once scene tracking has been configured for an area, Pharos Timelines will be triggered regardless of whether the individual loads are actually defined in ShowRunner™ or not.
161 +* If Scene Tracking is configured for a ShowRunner™ Area, the Pharos Timeline will be triggered regardless of whether any loads are assigned to the Area
162 +* Scene recalls are still executed even if Scene Tracking is enabled
163 +** Non-DMX loads in an area with Scene Tracking will still go to their predefined scene levels unless they are excluded from the scene
164 +** Pharos DMX loads will go to their predefined scene levels unless they are excluded from the scene, even if they are included in the Pharos Timeline being triggered
165 +* If Timelines are being used to control DMX fixtures, then the Fixture Groups do not actually need to be defined in ShowRunner™ unless direct control of the Fixture Groups is desired
