[IGSTK-Users] Ascension trakSTAR support?

[Patrick Cheng]

Hi Tamas,

Thank you for your help. I just updated Sandbox to include an Ascension 
test. Can you run it with your tracker?

1. Checkout IGSTKSandbox, not the main IGSTK.

2. Compile the library with IGSTKSandbox_USE_Ascension3DGTracker ON

3. In your binary directory run the following command:

igstkSandboxTests igstkAscension3DGTrackerTest log.txt

This test assumes you have two sensors connected to port 0 and 1. You 
need to have the TrackerConnected, as well as ATC3GD.dll in your path or 
the same directory as your igstkSandboxTests.exe
