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://hub.cambrionix.com
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 PowerPad15S
information, or “Set” port functions (such as mode).
A library of sample Python code can be obtained
from our website to help you integrate many
of these functions into your process workflow
alongside the full User Guide.
