Crestron SystemBuilder™ software creates a complete project, with no special
programming required. SystemBuilder completes all necessary programming for a
base system including all touchpanel screens and the control system program. The
program output of SystemBuilder is a SIMPL Windows program with much of the
functionality encapsulated in macros and templates. Once SystemBuilder creates the
project, the system interfaces and program logic can be customized in
SystemBuilder. Modifications are easily accomplished with Crestron development
tools (i.e., SIMPL Windows and Crestron VisionTools
packages).
NOTE: Modifications to the program that are made outside of SystemBuilder (for
example, in VT Pro-e or SIMPL windows) are not preserved when you reenter
SystemBuilder.
SystemBuilder comes with templates for all supported interfaces. If a user wishes to
create a touchpanel project using templates with a different look-and-feel, this can be
accomplished by making a custom template. This custom template can then be used
by SystemBuilder to create the final project files to be loaded into the panels.
Alternatively, VT Pro-e can be used to tweak projects created with the
SystemBuilder or develop original touchpanel screen designs.
Digital, analog and serial join numbers are a common thread between VT Pro-e and
SIMPL Windows. These numbers define how the objects on a touchpanel page of a
VT Pro-e project interface to the outside world, specifically the Cresnet system as
defined in the SIMPL Windows program. There are digital join numbers that carry
out some predetermined function (a logical high or low); analog join numbers for
displaying incremental values, sliders, gauges and bar graphs; and serial join
numbers that allow for the display of variable text and transmission/reception of
serial commands from other manufacturers. Unjoined objects are not interfaced with
the system and thus cannot initiate any logic functions (although they can perform
page flips).
