Hardware detection

Trackers can be discovered using 

LMF::Tracker::TrackerFinder ^ pTrackerFinder = gcnew LMF::Tracker::TrackerFinder;
NumTrackers                                  = pTrackerFinder->Trackers->Count;
for (int i = 0; i < NumTrackers; i++)
{
 Names.push_back(ToStdString(pTrackerFinder->Trackers[i]->Name));
 SerialNumbers.push_back(ToStdString(pTrackerFinder->Trackers[i]->SerialNumber));
 IPAddresses.push_back(ToStdString(pTrackerFinder->Trackers[i]->IPAddress));
 Types.push_back(ToStdString(pTrackerFinder->Trackers[i]->Type));
 Comments.push_back(ToStdString(pTrackerFinder->Trackers[i]->Comment));
}

So we could default to a simulation string when no trackers are discovered. In Ctrack we use the IP address AT960LRSimulator#506432 for this. This is the connection string, which otherwise would be an IP address.

In general a connection goes through a Connection object

LMF::Tracker::Connection ^ con = gcnew LMF::Tracker::Connection();
m_LMFTracker                   = con->Connect(gcnew System::String(IPAddress.c_str()));
if (m_LMFTracker)
{
    RegisterEvents();
    return true;
}
return false;

RegisterEvents is the main function to get notified of tracker events. Check out tracker scope for an overview

Updating the device

Ok, so the device code at the engine side is still ented to XML, we need to jsonify  this first.

Look at the template as example.
