Hi Martin,I know about the feature of the Aurora system to track two 5 DoF tools connected to one port. But as far as I know it was never tested with MITK. Maybe you can check what commands from the NDI API are needed to make this work? I can offer help to modify the NDI protocol classes in MITK.

Hi MITK-users, I wanted to use our Aurora system together with the MITK workbench. I have the following configuration: - An Aurora Tabletop Field Generator - A 6DoF reference tool connected to port 1 - Four 5DoF tools (inside a catheter) connected to port 2 and 3 (two tools on one port) This catheter is not available anymore, however, NDI sells a new version of it [1]. It has a 6DoF tool in its tip and six 5DoF tools inside the catheter. In total it needs four input ports of the Aurora system [2]. When I use the MITK workbench [3] it connects well and finds the 6DoF tool without a problem. However, the four 5DoF tools are handled as two 6DoF tools. So my question are: 1. Did anyone ever use such a configuration (two 5DoF tools on one port)? 2. Does anyone knows how much work it would be to implement this? The protocol and its implementation in MITK looks quiet complicated. Maybe you could give me some hints.
