 * IGSTK package is changing daily. If you compile IGSTK and IGSTKSandbox from recent cvs source tree, '''OpenIGTLinkTrackerBroadcasting''' is the application name to get tracking data from a device and send it to Slicer3.

 **You should hear a beep from the aurora system and the port light with a probe on the aurora should turn to green from yellow.
 * Now move the probe while keeping its green light stable (no flashing). You should see status change from Waiting to ON in OpenIGTLink IF module.
 * If you go to Transform module, you should see a node called "reference frame" and also see tracking data updating.
