Timed Out This can happen for a number of common reasons:
  • Check that the Phidget you are trying to open is plugged in, and that the addressing parameters have been specified correctly.
  • Check that the Phidget is not already open in another program, such as the Phidget Control Panel, or another program you are developing.
  • If your Phidget has a plug or terminal block for external power, ensure it is plugged in and powered.
  • If you are using remote Phidgets, ensure that your computer can access the remote Phidgets using the Phidget Control Panel.
  • If you are using remote Phidgets, ensure you have enabled Server Discovery or added the server corresponding to the Phidget you are trying to open.
  • If you are using Network Server Discovery, try extending the timeout to allow more time for the server to be discovered.
