Get Slicer ready

  1. Bring up Slicer
  2. Go to OpenIGTLink IF module (Modules -> OpenIGTLink IF)
  3. Connectors -> Add -> Server -> Active

Now Slicer is ready to receive tracking data at the default port 18944.

Customize the tracker

Any IGSTK supported tracking device is configured by an xml file. Here is an example for NDI aurora system:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<tracking_system type = "aurora">
   <refresh_rate> 20 </refresh_rate>
   <serial_communication> 
     <com_port>5</com_port>
     <baud_rate>115200</baud_rate> 
     <data_bits>8</data_bits>
     <parity>N</parity> 
     <stop_bits>1</stop_bits> 
     <hand_shake>0</hand_shake> 
   </serial_communication>
   <tool>
     <name> reference frame </name> 
     <control_box_port>1</control_box_port>
     <control_box_channel>0</control_box_channel>
     <send_to>134.174.54.211:18944</send_to> 
   </tool>
</tracking_system

You need pay a close attention for these two fields:
<com_port>5</com_port>: This is the serial port number you connect Aurora to your computer. <send_to>134.174.54.211:18944</send_to>: The ip address of the computer running Slicer and the port number Slicer to receive tracking data. Use localhost:18944 is both IGSTK and Slicer run on the same computer.
