Hi Ester et al. (Is Alfred back from holidays?)
Thanks for your help so far. I spent some time last week debugging. The problem occurs when we try to connect to the spectra, and send a hardware reset. If I put a breakpoint here: https://github.com/MITK/MITK/blob/master/Modules/IGT/TrackingDevices/mitkNDITrackingDevice.cpp#L398 and wait five seconds, and then continue, the connection is successful. I tried putting wait commands in, but then behaviour was unpredictable. Without waiting, this line: https://github.com/MITK/MITK/blob/master/Modules/IGT/TrackingDevices/mitkNDITrackingDevice.cpp#L400 returns an empty string. Can anyone advise on this? I would love this to be working smoothly, but Im not sure how to progress.
