Sample Windows program, called CUBES, that lets you immediately see sensors moving in free space as graphical icons on a display. Requires only connection of tracker to a PC or laptop for running an Ascension “demo” program.  No need to interface of the tracker to your applications software program.
*Note - the medSAFE system refers to CUBES as the "medSAFE Utility"

Also available are several tools, included on your CD-ROM, to help you understand and experiment with the tracker's capabilities; also ideal for quickly creating custom code. These tools include a second demo application, APITest (formerly pciBIRDTalk), a Tracker Configuration Utility (allows you to customize the tracker's power-up default behaviors and settings), and several C++ projects that contain commented sample code showing API syntax and usage.
