GDK

The Gocator Development Kit (GDK) is a framework for developing and testing custom Gocator tools containing your own algorithms, and then deploying them to Gocator sensors.

Custom tools created with the GDK act much like native Gocator data output tools (providing measurements, geometric features, data and generic outputs) with support for multiple input parameters), running at native speeds and taking advantage of features such as anchoring. The GDK supports all data types, and tools created with the GDK use the same data visualization as native tools.

Benefits

When you use the GDK to create custom measurement tools, you have complete control over how and where your custom measurement tools can be used, which protects your intellectual property.

You can also easily troubleshoot and modify your tools on-site, letting you respond quickly to your customers' urgent issues.

Supported Sensors

The GDK is available for free for the following Gocator sensors:

• Gocator 1300 series
• Gocator 2100 series
• Gocator 2300 series
• Gocator 2400 series
• Gocator 2500 series
• Gocator 2880
• Gocator 3210 and Gocator 3500 series

Typical Workflow

The following is the typical workflow for creating and deploying custom measurement tools:

• Develop and build tools using the GDK project files and libraries in Microsoft Visual Studio, targeting Win32.
• Debug the tools using the emulator on a PC.
• Build the tools into a custom firmware binary.
• Upload the custom firmware to a sensor.
