OPT3001EVM: Sample Application or SDK for OPT 3001 EVM.

We procured OPT3001 EVM for our research project.

I would like to know how to read the Light Sensor reading from a C / C++ program on Windows and Linux connected via USB.

Can you help me with a sample application/SDK to integrate into our project? 

I tried using HID API and I see the following results 

#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "hidapi.h"

// Headers needed for sleeping.
#ifdef _WIN32
#include <windows.h>
#else
#include <unistd.h>
#endif

The device is opened, but we don't get any other details.

Ideally, we need to read the LUX values from the sensor. Can you assist with a sample application for the same
