Phidgets Preference Pane

Explain the control panel

The examples in the preference pane are as is, and are intended for demonstration purposes. They are not suitable for user applications.

It is important to keep in mind that when an example Phidget application is opened from the preference pane, it holds a lock on the Phidget. This prevents any other program from accessing the Phidget. Please ensure that this example application is closed(the Phidgets Preference Pane can still be running) when you are running your own applications.
