Home < Testing your applicationHere 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) or PATH (Windows) contains the absolute 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:
http://studierstube.icg.tu-graz.ac.at/opentracker/html/howto_opentracker.pdf
you will find all possible functions and their default keys on your keyboard for using ConsoleSource.
