[IGSTK-Users] Problem in running IGSTKSandbox PolarisTracker example

[Alberto Vaccarella]

Hi Arefin,

instead of hard-coding file names into the source, try to run the
PolarisTracker example from command line (don't just double-click on the
executable) and use the correct arguments; something like:

./PolarisTrackerExample logger_filename srom_filename port_number

Additionally, as you can see from the source code, this example will save to
file only the position vector (x,y,z); if you need also orientation you can
add some code using transform.GetRotation().
For more details please refer to:

Hope this helps,
Alberto
