About this Primer

The intent of this primer is to introduce programmers to SIMPL Windows
programming techniques and how they apply to Crestron control systems. This
includes an understanding of how control systems use touchpanels and button panels
as user interfaces. Through these interfaces, a user might send a signal that is
processed by the control system (manipulated by logic symbols) and outputted to
eventually control a device.
The control process is more complex than this and has many more variables.
However, this is the basic concept of programming Crestron control systems. Users
of this information should have a basic understanding of the following:
Microsoft Windows
•
Knowledge of basic Windows commands
•
Familiarity with Windows features and functions
Audio/Visual
•
Knowledge of different control formats (serial, IR, relays)
•
Familiarity with A/V equipment
•
Ability to read and understand control and wiring diagrams
SIMPL Windows provides a wide variety of symbols that are constantly being
expanded to support virtually every possible application. As you become proficient
at using SIMPL Windows it will become obvious that there are many ways to solve
the same control problem. This allows for programming creativity and independent
flexibility.
