The VRPN server for DTrack was originally developed by David Nahon for Virtools
(http://www.virtools.com) as part of the Virtools VR Pack. Later it was improved and
enhanced by A.R.T. GmbH (http://www.ar-tracking.com).

NOTE: DTRACK support before vrpn 6.06 was not properly working.

NOTE: A.R.T. provides this binary just for use with DTRACK tracking systems.


Running the VRPN server
-----------------------

1. Unpack the supplied file.

2. Configure DTRACK: send output data (menu 'Settings/Network') to the PC where VRPN should be
   running on, port '5000'; be sure to have '6dcal' output activated.

3. Take a look into 'vrpn.cfg'; take care that '<data port>' is also set to '5000'.

4. Start the VRPN server out of a command console:

   > vrpn_server

5. You can check the correct function of the VRPN server with 'Utils/vrpn_print_devices';
   start the tool out of a command console:

   > cd Utils
   > vrpn_print_devices DTrack@localhost -trackerstride 100
