Phidget Control Panel
In order to demonstrate the functionality of the {{{1}}}, we will use the {{{2}}} and the Phidget Control Panel running on a Windows machine.
The Phidget Control Panel is available for use on both macOS and Windows machines. If you would like to follow along, first take a look at the getting started guide for your operating system:
Linux users can follow the getting started with Linux guide and continue reading here for more information about the {{{1}}}.
First Look
After plugging in the {{{1}}} into the {{{2}}}, and the {{{2}}} into your computer, open the Phidget Control Panel. You will see something like this: [[Image:{{{2}}}_Panel.jpg|link=|center]]
The Phidget Control Panel will list all connected Phidgets and associated objects, as well as the following information:
- Serial number: allows you to differentiate between similar Phidgets.
- Channel: allows you to differentiate between similar objects on a Phidget.
- Version number: corresponds to the firmware version your Phidget is running. If your Phidget is listed in red, your firmware is out of date. Update the firmware by double-clicking the entry.
The Phidget Control Panel can also be used to test your device. Double-clicking on an object will open an example.
