[IGSTK-Users] PolarisTracker problem on IGSTK

[Jake McIvor]

Hey Cruise,

Try removing the line:

 trackerTool2->RequestSetPortNumber( 1 );

I am not sure about the Spectra, but I use an older version of the
hybrid and it isn't necessary to set the port number of wireless
tools.  The port number is generated by the tracker hardware after a
port request is sent through the NDI API.

Let me know if that works,

Cheers,

Jake
