Hi All,

Not exactly a Performer question, but I imagine someone has run into this at
some point. We have a Polyhemus Fastrak 6 DOF tracker that we are intergrating
into a VE system we are developing. Is anyone aware of an API/device driver
that exists for the beast? The only documentation I have at the moment is info
about what bits and bytes are coming in over the serial cable. We have been
using the system as part of another package but we want to roll our own as
well. Surely someone has done something like this already. Looking for it on
an Octane if that makes any difference...

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

        Brian
