Programming with the 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 SystemBuilder 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, and the Crestron
Database. Crestron SystemBuilder accesses these tools behind the scenes, enabling
you to easily create robust systems.
For additional details, download SystemBuilder from the Crestron website and
examine the extensive help file.
