Programming interface 

After the Toolmonitor starts, the interface looks like this: 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The switching state of each port and multiplexer output is shown. 

Switching state of USB ports 

 

Port turned off 

 

Port turned on; no connected device detected 

 

Port turned on; connected device detected or detection function turned off 

 

Port is off although it should be turned on 
Possible cause: 

 

Excess current shutoff 

 

Connected device feeds current back into the USB hub.
