''Junichi'':
 
*How about adding 8- or 16-bit status field in TDATA? This will allow us to indicate that coordinate system is not registered. I would like to keep START_PUSH message simple....
 
 
''Alexander'':
 
*What status types can be specified?
 
*In the case the coordinate system is not valid, a STATUS message should be returned.
 
*Well, I understand that you would like to keep it as simple as possible. We really like to specifiy the coordinate system like "Camera" or "Patient". We could also specifiy a SET_COORD message, but I think this would be overkill. I still vote for a data specific argument field in START_PUSH. Maybe other future data types can also use this field?
 
*Due to consistency, I think we should add this field to STOP_PUSH, too.
 
*We would like to allow only one TDATA push for each client at a time, so a second START_PUSH will stop the first and start the second. A STOP_PUSH will stop the push regardless of the arguments in the body. What do you think about that?
 
 
''Junichi'':
 
* I haven't defined status types... it can be a bit array like: bit 0: registered or not; bit 1: line-of-site error; ....
 
** Do you think it is useful? if not, we can omit it.
 
* I agree that we need a way to specify coordinate system. It's good idea to have data specific field in the START_PUSH.
 
* I agree with the last comment. I would say one TDATA push for each device name, because multiple data sources may exist. The coordinate system can be overwritten by another START_PUSH message with the same device name and type.
 
 
''Alexander'':
 
* I think we don't need the status type. But maybe we define a TDATA in v3 after collecting some feedback from different users. I could think about other fields like diameter of instruments, etc. But for now I would like to keep TDATA as simple as possible.
 
* Ok, starting another trackingdata push with the same device name will implictly stop the first one. But if another device name is used, a second push will be started.

Summary

SDATA is a message type, which is used to transfer sensor reading, 3-axis position, velocity, acceleration, angle, angle velocity and angle acceleration. The message format is intended for manipulator control and various types of sensors.
