Anatomy of the Pixie-16 System#

A Pixie-16 system requires multiple components working together to collect, analyze, and move data. The Pixie SDK sits in the middle and bridges the gap between the hardware and the software domains.

Pixie SDK#

The Pixie SDK uses a layered approach to seamlessly work with all Pixie-16 hardware revisions and provide a consistent API for users to develop against. Users have the freedom to link directly with the Pixie SDK framework library, but it’s not recommended. Changes in the framework layer are not covered by our API Update Policy.
