Yes, it's our FalconX device - which is sold through XIA as you note.

The driver I'm working on should more be a complement to your excellent rather than an equivalent - it's specialized around high throughput multi detector list mode capture and storage. The two drivers should work quite nicely alongside each other.

One of the requirements of this driver is that it be able to work standalone - without XIA's Handel - so it does use our native library directly as you surmised.

Thanks. I'll take a look.
