listener.cs

This example can be found in Development\examples\csharp\listener\listener.cs.

This example shows how to implement the PST SDK using the PSTech.Pstsdk.Tracker class and how to receive data by registring an OnTrackerData() callback function to the PSTech.Pstsdk.Tracker object using PSTech.Pstsdk.Tracker.AddTrackerListener(). The example initializes the PST Tracker and grabs 100 datapoints.

In order to be able to run this example, the PST Tracker has to be initialized first. This can be done by starting the PST-Server and the PST-Client application and making sure the calibration files have been downloaded and a tracking target is available. The tracking target can be the default Reference target or a newly trained or imported target. For more information, please see the Initialization section or check the PST Manual.

When compiling and running this example, please make sure that the required dependencies can be found by the executable (e.g. by copying the Development\Redist directory into the build directory).
