Qualisys Realtime SDK for .Net

This is C# package with SDK and examples that can help Qualisys users connect and stream data from Qualisys Track Manager in realtime. This handles all kind of data that QTM can capture. This includes marker data, 6dof objects, user bones, analog, force and gaze vector settings and data.

• Use RTProtocol::DiscoverRTServers to find out which QTM servers that you can connect to on a network.
• Use RTProtocol::IsConnected method to check if a connection to QTM already exists.
• Use RTProtocol::Connect method to connect to QTM.
• Use RTProtocol::StreamFrames to setup streaming from QTM (this lets you decide what to stream).
• Use RTProtocol::ReceiveRTPacket to get data/event/error packets.
• Use RTProtocol::StreamFramesStop to stop streaming data.
• Use RTProtocol::Disconnect to disconnect.

Below is a c# console application example on how to discover all QTM servers on the network. Connect to localhost, stream 6DOF position+euler+residual data.
