Vicon Tarsus Streaming

Using Vicon IQ/Workstation and Visual 3D on the same machine.

Start Tarsus and load or create labelled marker data in which to stream.

In Visual 3D, create model from streaming data (Model menu, Create submenu), select your Vicon_RT plugin.

For the IP address, use the localhost IP address (127.0.0.1). This is the IP address of the local machine relative to itself. If this works it means you were using a bad IP address before. If this doesn't work, then there is a problem with some part of the streaming software.

Checking the Version Info Request

Navigate to the folder containing the Visual3D plugins

Right click Vicon_RT.dll. Select properties from the menu.

If the property sheet has a Version tab, select it and note the version number you are using (probably 2.0.0.1). If there is no Version tab on the property sheet, you are running version 1.x of the plugin.
