[IGSTK-Users] Attaching tools to aurora tracker problem

[Zein Salah]

Hi everybody,

I posted this question previously but I had less details that time. So
I would appreciate having a look at it once again.

I used to use IGSTK as an interface for an Aurora tracker that came
with 4 Ports and everything was working fine.

I newly had a newer Aurora system with 12 ports. The problem with the
new system is: attaching succeeds only on the first 4 ports!

To see what is happening, I connected all error events of TrackerTool
to observers like this:

    igstk::AuroraTrackerTool::Pointer tool = igstk::AuroraTrackerTool::New();

    igstk::TrackerTool::Pointer m_TrackerToolChannel0 = tool;
    m_TrackerToolChannel0->AddObserver(igstk::TrackerToolAttachmentToTrackerErrorEvent(),
m_TrackerToolAttachErrorObserver);
    m_TrackerToolChannel0->AddObserver(igstk::TrackerToolConfigurationErrorEvent(),
m_TrackerToolConfigurationErrorObserver);
    m_TrackerToolChannel0->AddObserver(igstk::InvalidRequestToAttachTrackerToolErrorEvent(),
m_InvalidRequestToAttachTrackerToolErrorObserver);
    m_TrackerToolChannel0->AddObserver(igstk::InvalidRequestToDetachTrackerToolErrorEvent(),
m_InvalidRequestToDetachTrackerToolErrorObserver);
    m_TrackerToolChannel0->AddObserver(igstk::TrackerToolErrorEvent(),
m_TrackerToolErrorObserver);

    tool->RequestSelect6DOFTrackerTool();
    tool->RequestSetPortNumber(portToHandle);
    tool->RequestSetChannelNumber(channelNo);
    tool->RequestConfigure();
    tool->RequestAttachToTracker(tracker);

Now, If the tool is connected to port 1-4, everything works fine. If I
use the ports >= 5, the following events are generated:

TrackerToolConfigurationErrorEvent()
InvalidRequestToAttachTrackerToolErrorEvent()
TrackerToolErrorEvent()
InvalidRequestToDetachTrackerToolErrorEvent()

Important Note: Using the "Track" software which comes with NDI's
Toolbox, tools are recognized and tracked on all ports.

Any ideas what might be going wrong???

Much thanks,
Zein
