[IGSTK-Users] SerialCommunicationSimulator

[Patrick Cheng]

Hi Ryan,

There are some pre-recorded stream files in:
   \IGSTK\Testing\Data\Input
directory, are those files what you are looking for? If not, I can help 
you record some data files here.

Examples of using simulation files can be found in 
igstkAuroraTrackerTest.cxx
