PI Software Development Kit PI-SDK
Overview
PI Software Development Kit PI-SDK is a software program developed by OSIsoft. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The primary executable is named aboutpi-sdk.exe. The setup package generally installs about 42 files and is usually about 126.29 MB (132,425,588 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10.
