| PST SDK 6.0.0.0-272350a

listener.py

This example can be found in `examples\python\listener.py`. When the PST SDK has been installed through the PST Software Suite installer the examples can be found in the Development folder.

This example shows how to implement the PST SDK using the pstech.pstsdk.tracker.Tracker class and how to receive data and tracker mode changes by implementing the pstech.pstsdk.tracker.Listener class. The example initializes the PST Tracker and grabs 100 datapoints.

In order to be able to run this example, the PST Tracker has to be initialized first. This can be done by starting the PST-Server and the PST-Client applications and making sure the calibration files have been downloaded and a tracking target is available. The tracking target can be the default Reference target or a newly trained or imported target. For more information, please see the Initialization section or check the PST Manual.

When compiling and running this example, please make sure that the required dependencies are copied from the `Redist` directory into the build directory. Redist folder be located either in root folder or in Development folder.
