Detailed Description

SAW component for establishing a network connection via OpenIGTLink protocol.

The component may be configured as a server by providing a target hostname/IP and a port number (delimited by ":"), or as a client by simply omitting the host.

mtsOpenIGTLink server("trackerServer", 50.0 * cmn_ms);
server.Configure("18944");
mtsOpenIGTLink client("trackerClient", 50.0 * cmn_ms);
client.Configure("localhost:18944");

igtlutil library is required to compile and run the examples.

SVN repository of the source code: http://svn.na-mic.org/NAMICSandBox/trunk/OpenIGTLink

Build instructions for various platforms: http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/OpenIGTLink/Library/Build

Bug:

Server is set up to handle a single client (osaSocketServer has support for multiple clients).

Todo:

Handle multiple connections by storing the returned socket pointer in an array.

Check for cyclic redundancy (CRC).

Handle message types besides TRANSFORM.
