Hi Thanh-Ha Nguyen,<div><br></div><div>My understanding is that the newer models of Ascension trackers, including the 3D Guidance medSAFE, use the new ATC3DG API, which is based on on their USB driver. However, these trackers still have serial port on them and are backward compatible with older serial code.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I took a quick skim through ATC3DG API, and couldn't find the metal error conditions you mentioned. Could you take a look at the API and let me know which specific features you would like to implement, and I can then give you some pointers on implementing it.</div>

I first thought I should use the Ascension3DGTracker classes, and it seemed quite obvious. But, I am using the serial port to communicate with the tracker. And these classes don't seem to be designed for that usage, at first look. That is why I've chosen the AscensionTracker (because I saw "SerialCommunication" and other stuff related to it). Besides, I got plenty of "unreferenced" issues when compiling code using Ascension3DGTracker (even if I made sure I checked all Ascension3DG related variables when running cmake, and linked every possibly libraries stored in the lib/IGSTK/ folder). Now, I might looked too fast and probably missed something. Anyway, my program runs fine with AscensionTracker classes. Do I really need to switch to Ascension3DGTracker classes ? If you tell me that I can find a getter for the Metal error in there, I will do.<br>
<br>Thank you a lot for your concern.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Thanh-Ha.</font><div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

Dear Thanh-Ha:<br>
<br>
Which type of ascension tracker are you using?<br>
<br>
In IGSTK we provide support for<br>
<br>
1) FlockOfBird type of Ascension trackers which use serial<br>
communication. ( AscensionTracker classes )<br>
<br>
2) Ascension's newer generation 3D Guidance series, including<br>
trackSTAR, driveBAY, and medSAFE (Ascension3DGTracker classes)<br>
<br>
Let us know<br>
Andinet<br>
