[IGSTK-Developers] Connection TrackerTool-Physical tracker port

Hi Geir Arne Tangen,

I think this method is nice to have, but in practice, the needle tool we 
  are using is sterilized and with SROM file pre-burned into the tool. 
We don't have the ID information for those tools.

What I have been doing in our application is, if the tool is not being 
plugged into the right port and channel, we have the option to correct 
that miss connection error and reinitialize the tracker.
