class Manager |
| |
This class represents a Phidget Manager.
The Phidget manager is a way to keep track of attached phidgets,
it will send Attach and Detach events as Phidgets are added and removed fromt the system.
The Phidget manager deals in base Phidget objects.
These objects are not actually connected to opened Phidgets but can be used
to get serial number, name, version, etc.

- isAttachedToServer(self)
- Returns the network attached status for remotely opened Phidgets.
This method returns True or False, depending on whether a connection to the Phidget WebService is open - or not.
