NeuralNav system setup in the AMIGO suite

PLUS computer (Thinkpad W520 laptop running Win 7 64-bit)
- Functions
  - Temporal calibration: synch ultrasound and tracking data streams
  - Spatial calibrations? Image-to-Probe, Reference-to-RAS
  - Saves synchronized ultrasound and tracking data to file (mha format)
- Framegrabber, connected through USB - Epiphan VGA2USB LR
- PLUS is compiled in 64-bit to save long tracked US sequences in one session.

BK ultrasound machine
- Functions
  - Provides images to the PLUS computer
- Image provided through VGA output
- Probes: BK 8862, BK 8863

Brainlab (tracker)
- Functions
  - Spatial calibration: Image-to-Probe, Reference-to-RAS
  - Provides tracking data to the PLUS computer
  - Provides additional surgical navigation information
- Tracking the following tools: Probe, Reference, Stylus
- Provides tracking data through OpenIGTLink

Slicer computer???
- Display tracked US and tracked surgical tools relative to the MRI
