Remarks

Open is pervasive. What this means is that you can call open on a device before it is plugged in, and keep the device opened across device dis- and re-connections.

Open is Asynchronous. What this means is that open will return immediately – before the device being opened is actually available, so you need to use either the attach event or the waitForAttachment method to determine if a device is available before using it.

This version of open specifies a serial number - The serial number is a unique number assigned to each Phidget during production and can be used to uniquely identify specific phidgets.
