|software_logo| Software Guide
===================================

Although ONIX is software agnostic, we have focused our development efforts on `Bonsai <https://bonsai-rx.org/>`__ for data acquisition. Bonsai is
very good at dealing with the asynchronous and heterogeneous data that ONIX
hardware produces.

- The :ref:`oni_repl` pages document a low-level C program that
  can be used for debugging and basic streaming IO with ONIX
  hardware.
- The :ref:`bonsai_onixref` pages provide detailed information about the ONIX
  Bonsai library. 
- The :ref:`open_ephys_gui` page shows how ephys data can be streamed the Open
  Ephys GUI to take advantage of its excellent visualization capabilities.

.. tip:: If you want to use ONIX hardware with your acquisition software,
    please :ref:`get in touch <support>`. It's not as hard as you might think
    :).
