I wanted to follow up on the issue I had previously posted.

We installed two ArrayTech trackers at different sites in the 
unconventional east-west orientation. One worked well and one operated 
so that it was not facing south very often.  Kyle was able to guide me 
through some troubleshooting and it appears the problem is fixed.

The tracker that worked properly had the sensor on the west end of the 
array and was pointed east.  The tracker not working as expected had the 
sensor on the east end of the array and was pointed west.  We swapped 
the east/west sensor wires in the controller, and reduced the ghost 
tracking setting.  This caused the tracker to work properly.
