Home < Testing your application

Here comes the point you want to test how your application works. At this moment, we're not going to use any real tracking device; instead, we will use ConsoleSource to simulate the generation of tracking data.

Testing procedure

  • Save the XMl files in the previous page into: send.xml and receive.xml (or use your preferred names)
  • On your computer, create two shell terminal windows
  • In both terminal, change directory (cd) to your NaviTrack-build directory
  • In one terminal, run this:
./myapp send.xml
and then press 1
  • In the other terminal, run this command:
./myapp receive.xml
and then press 1
  • Have the input focus for the terminal running the sending process. Press some keys on the keyboard (see next section) to generate simulated tracking data.
    • You should see the data update in the other terminal (the receiving side)
    • All received data will be also saved into a file named file-out.txt in the same directory where you run your application

How to use ConsoleSource

On page 33 of this pdf file:
http://studierstube.icg.tu-graz.ac.at/opentracker/html/howto_opentracker.pdf you will find all possible functions and their default keys on your keyboard for using ConsoleSource.
