[IGSTK-Users] Ascension trakSTAR support?

[Patrick Cheng]

Excellent! Thank you!!

Looks like the code works.

The next step is to integrate this into TrackerController utility class 
and create a xml configuration file reader so you can use it in 
OpenIGTLinkBroadcaster example.

Will let you know when it's done and ready for you to try.
