FrontPanel Platform
Device Manager
BETA
The FrontPanel Platform is introduced in FrontPanel version 6.0. It is currently in (beta) status. Please provide any feedback to [email protected].
More information on the Device Manager will be posted here soon.
The Device Manager is used to access device information, settings, and other management functions of a FrontPanel-enabled device. Capabilities include:
- Device Information – Current status and information about the device such as device ID, serial number, firmware revision, and other product details. Much of this information is also available via the FrontPanel API.
- Device Settings is a persistent storage for pre-established key/value pairs. Available settings for each device are published within the device data sheet such as here: XEM8320 Device Settings. The device manager provides an easy-to-use interface to view and make changes to these settings.
- Device Sensors is an API used to access on-board voltage, current, temperature, and other monitoring parameters. The device manager provides access to these sensors for supported devices.
- Firmware Updates – Firmware updates are available for registered devices and may be applied using the device manager.
