Hi Anka,

Do you have this code in your test code around line 204?

  for(unsigned int i=0; i<100; i++)
     {
     igstk::PulseGenerator::CheckTimeouts();

     TransformType             transform;
     VectorType                position;

     coordSystemAObserver->Clear();
     trackerTool->RequestGetTransformToParent();
     if (coordSystemAObserver->GotTransform())
       {
       transform = coordSystemAObserver->GetTransform();
       if ( transform.IsValidNow() )
         {
         position = transform.GetTranslation();
         std::cout << "Trackertool :"
                 << trackerTool->GetTrackerToolIdentifier()
                 << "\t\t  Position = (" << position[0]
                 << "," << position[1] << "," << position[2]
                 << ")" << std::endl;
         }
       }

     coordSystemAObserver2->Clear();
     trackerTool2->RequestGetTransformToParent();
     if (coordSystemAObserver2->GotTransform())
       {
       transform = coordSystemAObserver2->GetTransform();
       if ( transform.IsValidNow() )
         {
         position = transform.GetTranslation();
         std::cout << "Trackertool2:"
                 << trackerTool2->GetTrackerToolIdentifier()
                 << "\t\t  Position = (" << position[0]
                 << "," << position[1] << "," << position[2]
                 << ")" << std::endl;
         }
       }
     }

In your log file, it doesn't seem to have this loop.

Notice the following line is important.
     igstk::PulseGenerator::CheckTimeouts();
It give the tracker thread time to update the transform.

Also, this code will only print out transform when your tool is visible. 
It checks the time stamp before print it out.

if (transform.IsValidNow())
   {
   }

Try remove this condition, see if you can get any output.


I will look into the error code return of the Polaris.
