CustusX supports the NDI Polaris and Aurora tracking systems though IGSTK, http://www.igstk.com. CustusX requires that you first install the NDI Track application (available from http://www.ndigital.com/) following the NDI install instructions. Load the tool ROM-files into Track and verify that they work correctly. There should be no warnings in the Track application: This will cause CustusX to fail silently by not receiving tracking data from the tracking system.

If you need to create tool definitions for custom tools, remember to add the ROM-file to each definition.

Mac

Should work out of the box.

Linux

Run the following shell lines after installing the Track application:

    # Setup access rights for current user
    USER=`whoami`
    sudo usermod -a --groups uucp,dialout ${USER}

    # Setup connection between CustusX and IGSTK
    sudo mkdir -p /Library/CustusX/igstk.links
    sudo chmod a+rwx /Library/CustusX/igstk.links

Windows

CustusX assumes that NDI connects through COM-port 0 (TBD-verify). If this is not the case, change manually.
