How to access realtime outside signs?

Support

Dear All,

   How to access a real-time external signal source? And displayed on the slice interface.

   I have a device that generates real-time coordinate information （using usb interface） and simulates navigation, hoping to correspond with the scanned CT data.

   Thanks for any suggestion.

One option is to integrate a driver for the device with PLUS https://plustoolkit.github.io/

Maybe this is the second topic using NDI device.
the first as : Navigation with NDI Aurora/Polaris tracker
Here I have connected the NDI trakSTAR using PLUS server + OpenIGTLinkIF. As image showed below.

Here my question is how to get or show the data from the IGT above ?
thanks for any suggestion. :pray:

I think you just need to open the client in Slicer and look at the transforms in the transforms module

Hope it helps
