Software Development Kit (SDK)
Besides using Livox Viewer to check real-time point cloud data, users can also use the SDK or ROS to apply
the point cloud and IMU data acquired from Livox LiDAR sensors to different scenarios.
SDK Communication Protocol
With the SDK Communication Protocol, users can learn how to customize the Livox LiDAR sensors. The SDK
Communication Protocol encompasses the following three types of data:
Control Command Data: Configuration and query of LiDAR parameters and status information. Point Cloud
Data: Point cloud data generated by LiDAR.
IMU Data: IMU data generated by the built-in IMU. All data is stored in little-endian format.
Visit http://www.livoxtech.com/sdk to learn more information about the SDK Communication Protocol, Livox
SDK API Reference, and ROS Toolkit.
Storage, Transportation, and Maintenance
Storage
The storage temperature range for the Livox Avia is from -40° to 85° C (-40° to 185° F). Keep Avia LiDAR
sensors in a dry and dust-free environment.
• Make sure Avia LiDAR sensors are not exposed to environments containing poisonous or corrosive gases or
materials.
• DO NOT drop Avia LiDAR sensors and be careful when placing a LiDAR sensor in storage or taking it out of
storage.
• If a Avia LiDAR sensor is not to be used for more than three months, regularly check the sensors and
connectors for abnormalities.
Transportation
Before transportation, place Avia LiDAR sensors in a suitable box for transportation and make sure it is secure.
Make sure to place foam inside the transportation box and that the box is clean and dry.
DO NOT drop Avia LiDAR sensors and always be careful when carrying a LiDAR sensor.
Maintenance
Under normal circumstances, the only maintenance required for the Avia is to clean the optical window of
the LiDAR sensor. Dust and stains on the optical window can negatively affect the performance of the LiDAR
sensor. Make sure to regularly clean the optical window to prevent this from happening.
First, check the surface of the optical window to see if cleaning is necessary. If it is necessary to clean, follow
the steps below:
1. Use compressed or canned air:
DO NOT wipe a dusty optical window, as it will only cause more damage. Dust the optical window with
compressed or canned air before wiping the optical window. Note that if the optical window has no visible
stains afterward, it is not necessary to wipe it also.
2. Wipe the stains:
DO NOT wipe using a dry lens tissue, as it will scratch the surface of the optical window. Use the lens tissue
provided with isopropyl alcohol. Wipe slowly to remove the dirt instead of redistributing it on the surface of
the optical window.
