The ID code specified in the SIMPL Windows program must match the Net
ID or IP ID of each unit.
Program Manager is the view where programmers "program" a Crestron control
system by assigning signals to symbols. The symbol can be viewed by double
clicking on the icon or dragging it into Detail View. Each signal in the symbol is
described in the SIMPL Windows help file (F1).

Programming with VisionTools Pro-e

Touchpanel or display screens should be created in VisionTools Pro-e to allow
accessing the embedded applications, switching of source signals to desired outputs
as well as selection of the system mode. There are no special programming
requirements to use the functions of the TPS-GA-TPI in a room control system.
Multi-Mode Objects
The single most-advanced VisionTools Pro-e high-performance programming
technique involving the TPS-GA-TPI is the concept of multi-mode objects. A multi-
mode object (i.e., button, legend, etc.) is an object drawn on a VisionTools Pro-e
page that can have one or more active and inactive visible settings (modes).
For examples, refer to www.crestron.com/exampleprograms
mode object examples. This file contains the VisionTools Pro-e interface files and
SIMPL Windows files that illustrate the high-performance capabilities of multi-mode
objects.
WAV File Audio Messages
The TPS-GA-TPI interfaces are capable of producing (via headphone jack) or
transmitting (via QuickMedia) audio messages as system prompts and responses.
These files are recorded as WAV files on a PC using an audio utility such as Sound
Recorder that is packaged with Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me/XP/NT/2000/Vista™.
Files from other sources may also be converted to an acceptable format by using this
or a similar utility. Many other audio utilities are available commercially or as
shareware. The TPS-GA-TPI interfaces only accept the following WAV file format:
8-bit PCM, mono, 8KHz. For more information about how to use Sound Recorder,
