This chapter gives an overview of the members available for the Phidgets InterfaceKit 8/8/8. The members of the InterfaceKits 0/0/4 and 0/16/16 are named in the same way and therefore they are not listed separately. The only difference is, that there are fewer members because these Kits have less functionality. Voltage inputs, for example, are only offered by the InterfaceKit 8/8/8 Kit which therefore has members referring to them whilst the others do not offer them
Please read the chapter "Phidgets InterfaceKits" if you would like to know how to add and use this device. As explained in the topic"Object and Member Notation (dot syntax)", all kinds of objects can be addressed in the scripting language by using their members which set (or return if applicable) properties or methods of that object. Please refer to the chapter "Script Language" for more details about scripting in general.
Project.Phidgets_InterfaceKit_8_8_8(deviceName or ID) |
Example: Alternative Example: |
This gives access to all further members of the device "Phidgets_InterfaceKit_8_8_8" from the Configuration dialog. Using the Project object is an alternative to addressing the device directly by entering its name. The Project object allows to address the device through its name or ID. Substituting the ID with a dynamic variable allows automation. Actions can be performed on many devices of the same type simultaneously, e.g. by using for-loops: |
