of sample Python code can be obtained fromhttps://www.cambrionix.com/products/api to
help you integrate many of these functions into your process
workflow alongside the full User Guide.

8.3.Command Line Instructions (CLI)

Command Line Instructions can also be used to control and monitor the functions of the
hub and attached devices over a VCP (Virtual COM Port). In order to use the command
line interface a serial terminal emulator must be installed on the host computer. Examples
include Serial, ZTerm, PuTTy, and Minicom.

Once you have installed your preferred terminal emulator, please connect to the hub's COM
port using 115,200 baud, 8 data bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit. Once you get a command prompt,
type “help” for a list of commands and their usage, as shown below:
