Figure 4-1: PLUS Interface Layers – Location Software Library
The OCX is developed in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 using Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC)
and C++. It comprises one COM object: Tracker. The Tracker object handles the actual messages from
the PLUS Readers and uses the information from the Readers to calibrate, solve, and maintain
information about the Tags, Readers, and Calibration Tags.
This section describes each of the software interfaces of the PLUS Location Software Library in detail.
Section 4.2 provides an overview of the Tracker Object. Section 4.3 explains the some of the
terminology used in the Location Software. Section 4.4 describes alternatives for initializing the
Location Software. Section 4.5 is a complete reference for all features in the API. Section 4.6
documents the format of the raw data log files generated by the PLUS Location Software. Section 4.7
gives an overview of the provided C# sample application delivered with the PLUS Location Software
Library to show developers how to use the Location Software Library to receive TOA information from
the Readers, determine Tag positions, and maintain databases of system components.
