Successful Calibration

TRAKTOR detects which Timecode medium you are using, verifies the signal quality, and if the
signal quality is adequate completes the calibration phase. From then on, the software platters
will rotate at the speed of the turntables; and the motion of the record will be followed exactly.
In general, we recommend always checking the Scope panel when setting up TRAKTOR
SCRATCH PRO 2 to ensure Timecode control is working properly. This is especially important
if the deck platters do not follow the movement of your turntables or CD players as expected.
You can open the Scope panel by clicking on the platter, or, if the platter is not shown in the
software, by clicking on the small arrow (minimize button) above the Timecode quality meter.
The small arrow (minimize button) above the quality meter will also minimize the Scope
panel if you would rather have a larger view of the track waveform.

four useful indicators shown in the Scope panel:
