Data Types

The data streams that flow from processor to processor consist of data packets that carry the data of interest (the payload), a source timestamp (when the data packet was generated) and (optionally) a hardware timestamp (original timestamp of the external hardware that generated the data). Each input and output port on processor nodes only handles dedicated types of data. For example, some processors operate on arrays of analog data.

See how to extends a datatype on Falcon for more information. Below is a list of data types that are currently available in this extension.

• EventData
• SpikeData
