Real-time protocol

The real-time protocol makes it possible to write external applications that can control QTM and receive real-time data. The real-time protocol is implemented in a range of SDKs and QTM Connect modules for external software for real-time control and communication with QTM. All resources are available on Github (https://github.com/qualisys) and the Qualisys website (https://www.qualisys.com/downloads/).

SDKs are available for:

  • C++

  • C# (.NET)

  • Python

  • JavaScript

Resources for engineering:

  • QTM Connect for Matlab

  • QTM Connect for LabVIEW

  • ROS resources

  • Qualisys Drone SDK

Resources for animation:

  • QTM Connect for MotionBuilder

  • QTM Connect for Unreal

  • QTM Connect for Unity

  • QTM Connect for Maya

QTM also supports the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol for sound and multimedia applications and devices.

Full documentation of the real-time protocol is included with the QTM installer and is available online at https://docs.qualisys.com/qtm-rt-protocol/.
