Home < 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, a built-in module in NaviTrack, to simulate the generation of tracking data.

Testing procedure

  • Make sure your LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Linux) and PATH (Windows) have the path for NaviTrack library (libNaviTrack.so on Linux, and NaviTrack.dll on Windows)
  • Download the config files in the previous page: Send.txt and Receive.txt (you can rename them as xml files but it's not necessary)
  • On your computer, create two shell terminals (Linux) or command prompts (Windows)
  • In both windows, change directory (cd) to your NaviTrack-build directory
  • In one window, run this:
./middleware Send.txt
and then press 1
  • In the other window, run this command:
./middleware Receive.txt
and then press 1
  • Have the input focus for the window 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 window (the receiving side)
    • All received data will be also saved into a file named file-out.txt in the same directory where you run your application

How to use ConsoleSource

On page 33 of this pdf file:
