Default Traqmate help needed

Downloaded the traqmate software into my Win10 laptop at work. Went to connect my Traqmate classic to the computer so I could dump the data and it's not being recognized. I'm getting an "unknown USB device" error. The traqmate software can't find the traqmate device. Do I need to download a specific driver? If so, where do I find it? I thought that all the drivers would be setup when I downloaded the software itself?

It's not supported anymore, but maybe one of the legacy guys like Peter can help you.

Look in C:\Program Files\TraqmateUSB or C:\Program Files (x86)\TraqmateUSB

And as a person who occasionally has to support software on work computers STOP LOADING PERSONAL STUFF ON YOUR WORK COMPUTER.

Yup, bad USB cable. Swapped that and everything worked out.

Next problem was I had the GoPro upside down while recording and I can't seem to figure out how to rotate the video right side up.

Oh, and I own the company so I could really care less about putting personal stuff on my "work" laptop. All the same to me!

The RaceRender software easily lets you adjust or flip videos if you need to mount that way.

RaceRender is my favorite, but in this case, Traqview does a better, MUCH quicker job of integrating data into the video window, as part of the analysis package.

Now, you can use QuickTime, VLC Player and RaceRender to flip the raw video and save it, then point Traqview to the “fixed” video to get the good stuff out of it.

Reviving this thread for a problem I'm having. I'm trying to familiarize myself with Traqview before I get to try my new to me SPB with Traqmate and F & R cameras. The data files that are currently stored on the SD card appear to be large enough that they would have video with them. When I open Traqview and view the data file, in the dash board "set up", I don't seem to have a check box to show video accompanying the data. Could it be the Traqdash wasn't turning the video on automatically? These are files that the PO left on the SD car btw. I hope to be looking at my files tomorrow (can't wait!).
Thanks in advance for any help.

There are no data files on the SD card from the camera, only from the SD card on the TraqDash under "MySessions" folder.

If you get a dialog box that asks for a license, like this:


Enter this information to allow import and marriage of ONE of the videos with the data,

Traqmate PC Software Download and Updates
Traqview & TraqStudio have been combined into one program for simple installation. If you already have TraqStudio installed the installer will recognize your key and install TraqStudio. If you currently own TraqStudio but don't have it installed you can enter the authorization key at anytime to activate the software.
