Claim 6:
7. A method of cascading tracker communications within a body motion capture system, the method comprising:
generating and storing orientation data of a first tracker in a first buffer within the first tracker;
pulling a sample of the buffered orientation data of the first buffer and placing the sample of the buffered orientation data of the first buffer into a first data packet sent outbound from the first tracker at a time slot assigned to the first tracker as referenced against a first tracker clock signal;
receiving the first data packet from the first tracker at a link;
acknowledging receipt of the first data packet with a first outbound confirmation packet including an instruction to modify timing of a next data packet to be sent outbound from the first tracker to more closely match the time slot assigned to the first tracker as referenced against a link clock signal;
generating and storing orientation data of a second tracker in a second buffer within the second tracker;
pulling a sample of the buffered orientation data of the second buffer and placing the sample of the buffered orientation data of the second buffer into a second data packet sent outbound from the second tracker at a time slot assigned to the second tracker as referenced against a second tracker clock signal;
receiving the second data packet from the second tracker at the link; and
acknowledging receipt of the second data packet with a second outbound confirmation packet including an instruction to modify timing of a next data packet to be sent outbound from the second tracker to more closely match the time slot assigned to the second tracker as referenced against the link clock signal.
