Start (and Stop) Displaying Data
To display position and orientation data being received from
the tracker, use the Start Displaying Data option in the Display
menu or press Ctrl-D. ISDEMO first attempts to establish
communication and get all configuration information necessary
to correctly interpret and display incoming data. If it fails to
receive a reply to any of the status record requests it will still
go into the display mode, but there may be no data to display
or it may not be able to display the data correctly. If such
errors are detected, stop the display by selecting Stop
Displaying Data option in the Display menu or pressing Ctrl-X
and check the connection.
Station Number Allows the user to choose which station is to be displayed in
the main window of ISDEMO. Ctrl-Fx, where x represents the
station number, can also be used to switch stations. For
example, to switch to station 2, use Ctrl-F2.
Display Text When this option is selected all status and some of the data
records are displayed in text format in the sensor display area.
To prevent graphics updates from taking over most of the
processor time, no more than 20 data records per second are
displayed.
