Member Function Documentation

mitk::TrackingTool * mitk::NDITrackingDevice::AddTool	(	const char *	toolName,
		const char *	fileName,
		TrackingPriority	p = `NDIPassiveTool::Dynamic`
	)

Create a passive 6D tool with toolName and fileName and add it to the list of tools.

This method will create a new NDIPassiveTool object, load the SROM file fileName, set the tool name toolName and the tracking priority p and then add it to the list of tools. It returns a pointer of type mitk::TrackingTool to the tool that can be used to read tracking data from it. This is the only way to add tools to NDITrackingDevice.

Exceptions

mitk::IGTHardwareException Throws an exception if there are errors while adding the tool.

Warning: adding tools is not possible in tracking mode, only in setup and ready.

mitk::IGTHardwareException Throws an IGT hardware exception if the volume could not be set.

bool mitk::NDITrackingDevice::StartTracking ( )

overridevirtual

Start the tracking.

A new thread is created, which continuously reads the position and orientation information of each tool and stores them inside the tools. Depending on the current operation mode (see SetOperationMode()), either the 6D tools (ToolTracking6D), 5D tools (ToolTracking5D), 3D marker positions (MarkerTracking3D) or both 6D tools and 3D markers (HybridTracking) are updated. Call StopTracking() to stop the tracking thread.

Implements mitk::TrackingDevice.

mitk::TrackingDeviceType mitk::NDITrackingDevice::TestConnection ( )

virtual

TestConnection() tries to connect to a NDI tracking device on the current port/device and returns which device it has found.

TestConnection() tries to connect to a NDI tracking device on the current port/device.

Returns: It returns the type of the device that answers at the port/device. Throws an exception if no device is available on that port.

Exceptions

mitk::IGTHardwareException Throws an exception if there are errors while connecting to the device.
