Testing Using Windows 2000 / XP / Vista / 7

Make sure you have the current version of the Phidget library installed on your PC. If you don't, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Quick Downloads section on the Windows page
  2. Download and run the Phidget21 Installer (32-bit, or 64-bit, depending on your system)
  3. You should see the Ph.jpg icon on the right hand corner of the Task Bar.

Running Phidgets Sample Program

Double clicking on the Ph.jpg icon loads the Phidget Control Panel; we will use this program to ensure that your new Phidget works properly.

The source code for the InterfaceKit-full sample program can be found in the quick downloads section on the C# Language Page. If you'd like to see examples in other languages, you can visit our Languages page.

Updating Device Firmware

If an entry in this list is red, it means the firmware for that device is out of date. Double click on the entry to be given the option of updating the firmware. If you choose not to update the firmware, you can still run the example for that device after refusing.

  1. Double Click on Phidget InterfaceKit 8/8/8 in the Phidget Control Panel to bring up InterfaceKit-full and check that the box labelled Attached contains the word True.
  2. Click on the Digital Out box. A tick mark appears in the box and the bulb lights up. Click on the box again. The tick mark goes away and light goes out. If you unplug the Dual Relay Board while the light is

on, it will go off. Move the bulb wire from NO to NC (Normally Closed). Now the light is on when there is no tick mark and off when there is. If you unplug the Dual Relay Board when the light is on, it will stay on.

  1. The bottom row of the digital out shows the status of the request, while the top row displays the status of the digital output as reported by the 3051 Relay.
