intersense.dle extension

[kopper]

Hi,

I'm using a development edition of Vizard v3.18.0002 with an IS900 for tracking. My question is:

How can I get and set IS900 station parameters such as sensitivity and prediction while being able to get the tracking data?

I am using an IS-900 with 4 stations (one head tracker, two wrist trackers and one wireless wand) and I'm having trouble being able to set the stations parameters such as sensitivity as well as getting the tracking data. I can do either of those using a different extension, but I'm having trouble doing both things using the same extension.

As I can understand, there are two Intersense extensions, intersense.dls and intersense.dle.

With intersense.dls, the following code

station1 = viz.add('intersense.dls')
station2 = viz.add('intersense.dls')

will create objects for the first two stations from the Intersense device. However, with this extension, it is not possible (at least I didn't find a way how) to change the station parameters such as prediction, enhancement, sensitivity, etc. I can use station1.getData() to get an array with all position, orientation and buttons/joystick from the station.

Using the intersense.dle extension, the code looks like this:

isense = viz.add('intersense.dle')
station1 = isense.addTracker(port=1,station=1)
station2 = isense.addTracker(port=1,station=2)

This allows me to get and set parameters such as

station2.getSensitivity()

However, when I try to get the sensor data, using stationX.getData(), I get either an empty array, or an array of two elements that represents the wand joystick. I could not find a way to be able to both set the station parameters AND get the tracking data.

Any help will be appreciated.
