PixieSDK

Build Status Latest Release

The PixieSDK is a fully featured, cross-platform, C++ based software development kit for XIA LLC's Pixie-16 product line. We've tried to provide all the tools necessary to get a fresh system up-and-running without the user writing a single line of code.

Documentation

The project documentation is available on the web.

API Update Policy

By necessity, we will be making changes to the public API calls and the SDK. We will adopt a process of depreciating interfaces then removing them. We will provide notice of

  • no less than 12 months before removing an interface,
  • and no less than 6 months before changing an interface.

Notices will appear in the source code, documentation, and release notes. We will notify users via email 30 days prior to the deprecation date.

Deprecated interfaces will receive bug fixes during their deprecation phase, but will receive no added functionality. This policy may not cover all situations, and will evolve over time. For situations that don’t fit neatly into this policy, we will ensure that the information is available in all relevant Release Notes.
