===Configure Slicer===
Start Slicer 3, and follows these steps: <br>

# create a transform called "tracker" inside the MRML tree from the Data module<br>
# load a dataset or a moder and make it a child of the "tracker" transform that you just created <br>
# Open the Interactor window and from there start the tracker daemon by using the following commands:
## source $::SLICER_BUILD/../Slicer3/Modules/TrackerDaemon/Tcl/trackerd.tcl
## trackerd_start

===Data communication===
Once Slicer is ready waiting for transforms, then do in a console the following command: <br>

   ./igstkSandboxTests igstkAuroraTrackerToolObserverToSocketRelayTest localhost 8529 10000 0 1

At that point, the Aurora tracker should be initialized (beeping), and Slicer should popup a message asking for authorization to let somebody connect in "127.0.0.1". If you click on "OK" in that message, then Slicer should start receiving the transforms from the socket, and you should see the volume moving as you move the Tracking tool.
