Programming with Crestron SystemBuilder

Crestron SystemBuilder offers automatic programming for such residential and
commercial applications as audio distribution, home theater, video conferencing, and
lighting. The interface of this tool guides you through a few basic steps for
designating rooms and specifying the control system, touchpanels, devices, and
functionality. Crestron System Builder then programs the system, including all
touchpanel projects and control system logic.
Crestron SystemBuilder is fully integrated with Crestron's suite of software
development tools, including SIMPL Windows, VT Pro-e, Crestron Database, User
IR Database, and User Modules Directory. Crestron System Builder accesses these
tools behind the scenes, enabling you to easily create robust systems.
NOTE: Modifications to the program that are made outside of Crestron
SystemBuilder (for example, in VT Pro-e or SIMPL Windows) are not preserved
when you reenter Crestron SystemBuilder.

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-4L, 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
.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 explains how to create a SIMPL Windows program that includes a
TPS-4L within a Cresnet system.
Configuration Manager is where programmers "build" a Crestron control system by
selecting hardware from the Device Library. In Configuration Manager, drag the
