The description of the initialization procedure as well as the necessary command list is provided
on the USB stick and in the PIX Connect software (Help → SDK).
2 SDK packages are available (included on USB stick):
1. Connect SDK: requires the PIX Connect software
2. Direct SDK: no PIX Connect software required, supports Linux and Windows
The communication to the process imager device is handled by the PIX Connect software (Imager.exe)
only. A dynamic link library (ImagerIPC2.dll) provides the interprocess communication (IPC) for other
attached processes. The DLL can be dynamically linked into the secondary application. Or it can be done
static by a lib file too. Both Imager.exe and ImagerIPC2.dll are designed for Windows 7/ 8/ 10 only.
The application must support call-back functions and polling mode.
The ImagerIPC2.dll will export a bunch of functions that are responsible for initiating the communication,
retrieving data and setting some control parameters.
The main difference to the former Version 1 (ImagerIPC.dll) is the support of more than one Optris Xi via
multiple instances of Optris PIX Connect.
