5.4. Software
Cambrionix provides interfaces by which the Hub can be monitored and managed:
l
Cambrionix Connect
l
Cambrionix API
l
Command Line Instructions
Cambrionix connect can use the API to interact with the devices through a user-friendly application,
or the API can be used to provide other protocols that send translated string commands. The
PDSync-C4 uses string commands to communicate with the host system. These can be sent via the
virtual serial port of the PDSync-C4 directly,
There are different channels for both our Cambrionix Connect application and the API. The channels
are Beta and Release. We would recommend using the release version of both the API
and Cambrionix
Connect.
We will push bug fixes and updates through Beta before it is merged into the Release version. If you
have found a bug that we have a fix for, the Beta releases may already have addressed these and
implemented fixes.
5.4.1 Cambrionix Connect
Cambrionix Connect is an application that can be run from a browser by visiting
or it can be downloaded from
. Cambrionix
Connect allows you to switch the ports on and off and set the port mode. Cambrionix Connect’s
home page shows the hubs available, by selecting a hub you can obtain the following information
about all the ports:
• Status (Attached/disconnected)
• Mode (Charge/Sync/Off)
• Profile (Charging profile)
• Duration (How long the device has been attached)
• End time (Time the battery reaches a threshold (full) level)
• Current (Quick charge current in mA)
• Energy (Present energy rate)
Tick boxes adjacent to each port symbol allow that port mode to be changed when the "enable port
controls" is selected. Cambrionix Connect shows the hub rail voltages, time since switched on, total
current and power, and temperature. Further details on Cambrionix Connect are available on our
website.
Internal hub settings
Within your hub, there are some specific controllable settings called 'internal hub settings'. These are
a variety of different settings for your PDSync-C4.
You can navigate to the Internal hub settings
by opening Cambrionix Connect and selecting the hub
you want to connect to. Once you have chosen the connected hub, navigate to the below icon on the
top right of the screen from Cambrionix Connect
