Objective

We will implement basic functionality of the new OpenIGTLink IF module for Slicer 4.

Approach, Plan

We will work on the following features:

• I/O configuration interface
  • We will create a user interface that allows the user to configure incoming and outgoing data in a tree view interface.
• Visualization interface
  • We will create a user interface to configure slice drivers.

Progress

• The prototype module is available in NAMICSandBox.
• Implemented Data I/O Configuration Module
  • Shows a list of incoming and outgoing data stream for each IGTL connector node in a tree interface
  • Allows adding nodes to be imported or exported.
• Exporting data
  • The module now recognizes updates in nodes, which are specified as outgoing data in I/O configuration and export data through OpenIGTLink connection.
