DataPix4 (Data Acquisition for Timepix4 Applications) is a new C++ framework for the management of Timepix4 ASIC, a multi-purpose hybrid pixel detector designed at CERN. Timepix4 consists of a matrix of 448x512 pixels that can be connected to several types of sensors, to obtain a pixelated detector suitable for different applications. DataPix4 can be used both for the full configuration of Timepix4 and its control board, and for the data read-out via slow control or fast links. Furthermore, it has a flexible architecture that allows for changes in the hardware, making it easy to adjust the framework to custom setups and exploit all classes with minimal modification.
