Every Phidget channel you use in any program will follow the same life cycle:
# '''[[Creating a Channel|Create]] a channel:''' Make a variable to keep track of your Phidget
# '''[[Addressing Phidgets| Address]] the channel:''' Set some basic parameters to indicate which Phidget to connect to.
#*You can specify as much, or as little as you deem necessary. You can even use a Phidget without specifying any parameters, if your system is simple enough.
# '''[[Opening a Channel|Open]] the channel:''' Opening the channel will begin trying to match a physical Phidget channel to your software channel.
# '''[[Attaching a Channel|Detect when the channel is attached]]:''' Your program must wait until a physical Phidget channel has been ''attached'' to your software channel.
#* The attachment process is handled automatically, and will attach to the first available Phidget channel that matches all your specified addressing parameters.
#* A channel is attached when the Phidget libraries link a physical Phidget channel to your software channel.
#* Waiting for attachment can be handled automatically as part of ''opening'' the channel or separately, as best suits your program.
# '''[[Do Things with the Channel|Do things with the channel]]:''' Send commands to and receive data from your Phidget.
#* This section will encompass the majority of your program. The Phidget API / libraries will make this process as straightforward as possible, and is similar across all types of Phidgets.
# '''[[Closing a Channel|Close]] the channel:''' Once your program is done, you close the Phidget channel.
#* This frees up the Phidget for the next program that might need it.

For a closer look at the parts of a Phidget program, the following pages will dissect the parts of a Phidget program in more detail. Small code snippets are provided for each step to provide a representation of the code.
