Software Development Kit (SDK)

point cloud data acquired from Livox LiDAR sensors to different scenarios.
SDK Communication Protocol
There are two types of communication protocols between the user and a Livox LiDAR sensor, and the
protocol formats of these two kinds of data are different. The specific functions and differences of these
types of communications are as follows:
Control Command Data: Configuration and query of LiDAR parameters and status information.
Point Cloud Data: Point cloud coordinate data generated by LiDAR.
Both communication protocols are located in the data segment of the UDP package and stored in little-
endian format.
