## Summary
The POINT message type is designed to transfer information about fiducials, which are often used in surgical planning and navigation in the image-guided therapy.
## Message Types

### GET_POINT
GET_POINT is used to query for meta data of label data. If the DEVICE_NAME field in the header is empty, a list of all available point data is returned.
