7. Manage Ports & Devices using Cambrionix Software
More productivity, saving you time. Cambrionix provides three interfaces by which the Hub can
be monitored and managed:
• LiveViewer
• Cambrionix API
• Command Line Instructions
7.1.LiveViewer
LiveViewer is an App that can be downloaded from https://www.cam-
brionix.com/products/liveviewer . Once downloaded and installed on the host computer,
LiveViewer allows you to switch the ports on and off, set the port to charge only, or to sync
mode. LiveViewer’s home page shows 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 (instantaneous charge current in mA)
• Energy (present energy rate in Wh)
Tick boxes adjacent to each port symbol allow that port mode to be changed. When the port is
in Sync mode, only instantaneous current can be monitored through LiveViewer. When the port
is in Charge mode, the charge profile, instantaneous current, energy rate, duration of charge
and end time are displayed. In addition to individual port information and control, LiveViewer
displays the hub rail voltages, time since switched on, total instantaneous current and power,
and temperature. Full instructions on LiveViewer are available on our website.
7.2.Cambrionix API
Cambrionix API allows you to monitor and control each port in more detail and to integrate
these functions into your own workflow processes. The API comprises a daemon that can be
downloaded from https://www.cambrionix.com/products/api and installed on the host
machine. Port information and control can be provided through the API using JavaScript Object
Notation (JSON) Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) over TCP. JSON-RPC calls send a request to the
API to “Get” port, device or Hub information, or “Set” port functions (such as mode). A library
