5.5. Software
Cambrionix provides interfaces by which the Hub can be monitored and managed:
l
LiveViewer
l
Cambrionix Connect
l
Cambrionix API
l
Command Line Instructions
LiveViewer or 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 Thundersync2-16 uses string commands to communicate with the host system. These can be
sent via the virtual serial port of the Thundersync2-16 directly,
There are different channels for both our LiveViewer application and the API. The channels are Beta
and Release. We would recommend using the release version of both the API
and LiveViewer.
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.
