56 • Entertainment System: Adagio AES
Adagio Composer provides a quick method of configuring a custom audio
distribution system without prior programming knowledge. For additional details,
download Adagio Composer from the Crestron website and examine the extensive
help file.
To create more advanced systems that include non-audio distribution devices such as
lighting and HVAC, use Crestron SystemBuilder or SIMPL Windows.
Programming with Crestron SystemBuilder
The easiest method of programming a Crestron system. For additional details,
download SystemBuilder from the Crestron website and examine the extensive help
file.
Any program created for the AES with SystemBuilder will include the out-of-the-
box functionality in addition to any additional programming created with
SystemBuilder.
For lower level control and additional programming flexibility, use SIMPL
Windows.
Programming with SIMPL Windows
NOTE: While SIMPL Windows can be used to program the AES, it is
recommended to use Adagio Composer or SystemBuilder for configuring a system.
SIMPL Windows is Crestron's premier software for programming Crestron control
systems. It is organized into two separate, but equally important "Managers".
Any SIMPL Windows program written for an AES will contain all of the AES' out-
of-the-box functions in a protected area of the program. The parts of the program that
contain the out-of-the-box functions are locked and cannot be changed or deleted.
When a program is compiled, the custom program plus the out-of-the-box program's
logic, default front panel operation, and control device (APAD or keypad) logic are
loaded.
NOTE: When programming an AES in SIMPL Windows, always begin with the
example program and modify as required. To find example programs, refer to
"Example Program" on page 57. Also visit Crestron's True Blue Support on the web
for more programming tips.
Configuration Manager is the view where programmers "build" a Crestron control
system by selecting hardware from the Device Library.
•
To incorporate the AES into the system, drag the AES from the Control
Systems folder of the Device Library and drop it in the System Views.
