[IGSTK-Users] Having Issues in running TrackingVolumeViewer example in IGSTK

[Ziv Yaniv]

Hi Arefin,

Your tool is designated as a dynamic reference frame (usage="reference"). You need to remove this tag. You will also need the corresponding mesh for display. I am not sure if there is a mesh for the polaris.

               hope this helps
                           Ziv

Subject: [IGSTK-Users] Having Issues in running TrackingVolumeViewer example in IGSTK

 Hi All,

I have built the Tracking Volume Viewer application successfully. When I run it in Visual Studio 2010, it shows me a window with four quadrants. But they are all empty. I loaded the xml file containing the tracker and tool information into the running application window. I have pasted the xml script below. It is a modified version of the xml file given in the IGSTK/Data/TrackerConfiguration directory (after building IGSTK) and named as polarisHybridConfiguration.xml

I have a NDI Polaris system, and a marker tool which I obtained from NDI 6D Architect software. I would like to track that marker using Polaris through the TrackingVolumeViewer application to make sure that::: I can track my marker(s), the setup is done correctly and to obtain a physical measurement of the Field of View of my Polaris attained through the IGSTK TrackingVolumeViewer application.

The issue I am having now is:::: I loaded the modified xml file into the application, but i get the message [Missing tag(s) in xml file] once I load the file. And then nothing is shown in any of the four quadrants of the application window as expected in http://public.kitware.com/IGSTKWIKI/index.php/Tracking_Volume_Viewer

Please let me know if my steps of actions are not clear enough and I will try to explain more clearly. I would appreciate if anyone could guide me to understand the current issue I am facing.

Thanks & Regards
Arefin
