[IGSTK-Users] IGSTK Polaris and docking Station problem

[Patrick Cheng]

Hi Miguel,

Right now it is not possible to use a docking station with the IGSTK 
polaris interface.

We might have to change the igstk Tracker interface so that instead of 
identifying tools by "port" and "channel" numbers, it can identify tools 
in a way that is more device-specific.  The idea of "port" and "channel" 
was based on the aurora, but of course not all tracking systems are the 
same.

Thank you,

Patrick
