Testing your application

Here comes the point you want to test how your application works. At this moment, we're not going to use any real tracking device; instead, we will use ConsoleSource to simulate the generation of tracking data.

Testing procedure

• Save the XMl files in the previous page into: send.xml and receive.xml (or use your preferred names)
• On your computer, create two shell terminal windows
• In both terminal, change directory (cd) to your NaviTrack-build directory
• In one terminal, run this:

./myapp send.xml
and then press 1

• In the other terminal, run this command:

./myapp receive.xml
and then press 1

• Have the input focus for the terminal running the sending process. Press some keys on the keyboard (see next section) to generate simulated tracking data. You should see the data update in the other terminal (the receiving side).
