SpikeGLX-CPP-SDK

What

The SDK lets remote Windows and Linux applications communicate with SpikeGLX phase30 versions 20220101 and later:

• Set/get parameters.
• Start/Stop runs.
• Start/stop writing.
• Fetch data in real time.
• Everything you need to integrate SpikeGLX into your workflow.

Explicitly supported in this package:

• C++
• ANSI C
• C# (Windows)
• Python

Any other language that binds to C or C++ can be used if you provide the wrapper calls.

There's an included closed-loop latency test program; used to obtain these results on an i7-8850H, 2.6 GHz laptop:

Note: Low latency mode is available with SpikeGLX 20230815 and later.

Who

The SDK is developed by Bill Karsh of the Tim Harris Lab at HHMI/Janelia Research Campus.

Building in Windows

I build using Qt 5.12.0 (MinGW 64-bit). Compiled components include supporting DLLs from that Qt version.

Building in Linux

You edit/run SpikeGLX-CPP-SDK/Linux/API/make-install.sh to build libSglxApi.so, and set up the API headers. The Linux version builds with your local g++; there is no Qt dependence.
