Driver for Polhemus Fastrak w/ Serial Connection?

Hello,

 

I am wondering if anyone out there has written (and would be willing to share) a LabView driver for acquiring data from a Polhemus Fastrak sensor with a serial port connection?  Unfortunately, there is not a publically available driver for this particular Polhemus sensor because it is their oldest model.  I know that there are ways to build drivers using VISA or start with a basic serial write and read VI and then modify it, but that level of programming is a little beyond my experience.  So before I start trying to build something from scratch, I just thought I would ask if anyone has already built something that they would be willing to share.

 

 

Thank you.

The NI OPC Server has a driver named UCON(User Configurable Driver). It can be configured to communicate with the device.
