TODO: 1) prevent any local versions of fieldtrip and buffer related stuff on odin, only use the up-to-date home/common version. If needed use a symlink. 2) resolve the naming inconsistency in the fieldtrip release. The documentation on the wiki also describes the executable without the ctf_ prefix. 3) general overhaul of the documentation on http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/development/realtime/ctf, it now starts with explaining stuff that was deprecated 3 years ago. It should reflect the current state of affairs. Please distribute the work between Boris and Arjen.

while you are at it, please also have a look at bug #1644.

I am no longer working on FieldTrip. Hence, I donate all my bugs to the joint development user.

1) Local versions of fieldtrip and buffer related stuff on odin are now removed or ignored. The headlocalization related software is all based on the up-to-date version; namely that of /home/common/matlab/fieldtrip 2) Technically, ctf2ft would also make sence. However, since the ctf acquistion software contains the acq prefix, Robert and I decided to stick with acq2ft. 3) AcqBuffer was developed a few years ago indeed and is currently not the dominant approach for interfacing between the CTF system and FieldTrip. Since this is a development page, and not a fully fledged description, I will place the AcqBuffer documentation at the bottom of that page. This will direct attention directly towards the acq2ft software.
