[IGSTK-Users] SerialCommunicationSimulator

[Patrick Cheng]

Hi Ryan,

I am not sure if you could 'convert' your existing file to the 
igstk::SerialCommunicationSimulator file format or not, but the way we 
used to do this is using the igstk::SerialCommunication class

   /** Set the name of the file into which the data stream is recorded. */
   void SetCaptureFileName(const char* filename);
   /** Get the filename into which the data stream is recorded. */
   const char* GetCaptureFileName() const;

   /** Set whether to record the data. */
   igstkSetMacro( Capture, bool );
   /** Get whether the data is being recorded. */
   igstkGetMacro( Capture, bool );

Since you are dealing with a not yet supported tracker, this might not work.

The code writing the simulation file is in igstk::SerialCommunication 
class, around line 454. It's using a logger to direct the output to a file.

Thank you,

Patrick
