Programming with SIMPL Windows

NOTE: The following assumes that the reader has knowledge of SIMPL Windows.
If not, refer to the extensive help information provided with the software.
NOTE: The following are acceptable file extensions for programs that include a
TPS-12G/15G-L, developed for specific control system types:
.smw projectname.smw (source file)
.spz projectname.spz (compiled file for 2-Series)
.usp projectname.usp (source code module for SIMPL+)
.ir projectname.ir (user IR)
.umc projectname.umc (user macro)
.ush projectname.ush (completed SIMPL+)
NOTE: In the following description, the PRO2 control system is used.
SIMPL Windows is Crestron's software for programming Crestron control systems.
It provides a well-designed graphical environment with a number of workspaces
(i.e., windows) in which a programmer can select, configure, program, test, and
monitor a Crestron control system. SIMPL Windows offers drag and drop
functionality in a familiar Windows
This section describes a sample SIMPL Windows program that includes a
TPS-12G-QM-L touchpanel. Procedures are identical for the TPS-15G-QM-L.
Join Number Remapping (JNR) is a programming concept that allows a TPS Series
panel to use join numbers with values over 4000 (Join Numbers 4001 to 15999 and
Reserved Join Numbers) by bringing them within the range of the TPS touchpanel
symbol, thereby increasing a touchpanel's functionality. Through JNR, a TPS Series
panel's internal functions become accessible to a control system and can activate the
local functions of other touchpanels, route its internal feedback back to the control
system, and receive feedback from remote locations. JNR provides the additional
capability of managing IP IDs in Ethernet applications where a touchpanel
communicates with multiple control systems that have been uploaded with the same
program. Refer to the latest version of the 2-Series Control System Reference Guide
(Doc. 6256) and the SIMPL Windows help file for more details.
Configuration Manager is where programmers "build" a Crestron control system by
selecting hardware from the Device Library. In Configuration Manager, drag the
PRO2 from the Control Systems folder of the Device Library and drop it in the upper
pane of the System Views. The PRO2 with its associated communication ports is
displayed in the System Views upper pane.
The System Views lower pane displays the PRO2 system tree. This tree can be
expanded to display and configure the communications ports.
