[IGSTK-Users] Using Virtual ROM files with Aurora

[Ziv Yaniv]

Hi Jon,

Most likely the port number is one less than what you specified (the 
numbers on the box start from 1 and igstk internally starts at 0).

Also, to make your life easier please read section 21.1. in the upcoming 
IGSTK book (Tracker Independent Application development):
http://isiswiki.georgetown.edu/DataServer/Data/Public/IGSTKTheBookV2.pdf

The section describes how to use IGSTK utility classes so that all the
tracker setup and initialization is performed for you. All you will need 
to do is specify an xml file for the tracking system configuration you 
are using.

See the TrackingVolumeViewer example program for use of these classes. 
The specifics can be found in 
TrackingVolumeViewer::ConfigureTrackerProcessing.
