Fastrak

supported on WIN32LinuxDarwin

Driver for trackers using the Polhemus Fastrak protocol.

Please check out the tutorial on input/output streams for further information on how to use devices. Due to technical reasons the input and output fields of a device can only be determined at runtime and therefore do not appear in this interface description. Use the "Web Interface Device Management" entry in the "Help" menu of a running InstantPlayer to determine available input and output fields of a device.

Filter: X3D only | Avalon only | All
id Name DataType PartType Default ValueType Description
SFString Device SFString initializeOnly 0 A number starting at 0 specifying the device the Fastrak Node should operate.
SFString BaudRate SFString initializeOnly 115200 Baud rate of the serial port. Possible values are 110, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 or 115200.
SFString DataBits SFString initializeOnly 8 Number of data bits used for the communication on the serial port. Possible values are 7 or 8.
SFString Parity SFString initializeOnly none Type of parity used for the communication on the serial port. Possible values are even, odd or none.
SFString Handshake SFString initializeOnly Software Type of handshake (flow control). Possible values are none, hardware or software.
SFString Hemisphere SFString initializeOnly 1,0,0 Points to the used hemisphere in tracker coordinate system. x->right y->up, z->front.
