If an entry in the list is red, it means the Phidget's firmware is out of date. Double click on the entry to be given the option of updating the firmware.
A single Phidget may have a number of different objects that you can open an example for. For instance, an LED controller Phidget may have dozens of digital output channels, each of which controls a single LED. You can click on the + and - signs on the left to expand the tree of attached devices to select the specific object and channel index you want. Double clicking on one of these objects will launch the example for that specific object and port.
