HWg-SDK
HWg SDK is a library of functions, as well as examples of their use, for Unix and Windows. The
functions are intended to help third-party SW solutions communicate with our products over IP. SDK
reduces the time needed to implement support for our products into your SW.
HWg SDK is free of charge
; however, you need to register before downloading. After
competing the registration you will receive a link to the latest version download.

HWg SDK is available in
English only
.
SDK installs to the Windows environment, its interface is HTML-based.
When is the SDK useful for you? For example, Poseidon products share the readings in a well-
documented XML file. A simple XML parser is sufficient to transform the data into another structure.
However, to receive alarm alerts, a SNMP trap parser needs to be implemented, and so on.
All of these functions use standard interfaces. On the other hand, unless you already have a
complete SNMP implementation in your software, it is easier to use HWg SDK functions that invoke
the respective event handlers in your software.
