5.6.3 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
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 of
sample Python code can be obtained from
www.cambrionix.com/products/api
to help you
integrate many of these functions into your process workflow alongside the full User Guide.
5.6.4 Updating Software
By using LiveViewer you will be able to automatically download and install the most up to date
software (LiveViewer and the Cambrionix API)
By going into the settings section on the left hand side of LiveViewer you can navigate to the
general tab and under this can see the options for keeping both LiveViewer and the API up to
date.
