Converting Simpl+ Modules; Converting User Modules - Crestron CNX-DVP4 Operation Manual

Digital Video Processor
48 • Digital Video Processor: CNX-DVP4
defined as either analog or serial. Although X-Series processors support ambiguous
signals, the 2-Series processor requires all signal types to be strictly defined.
If the program you want to convert contains SIMPL+ or User modules, Crestron
recommends that you first convert each module before converting the larger
program. In this way, the compiler can resolve any ambiguous signals in the modules
and minimize errors when the larger program is converted.
If the program contains connections to ports or devices not supported by the CNX-
DVP4, the conversion finds network devices that match the port operation. If it does
not find a match, it reports an error.

Converting SIMPL+ Modules

1. Open the SIMPL+ module you want to convert.
2. Choose the 2-Series processor as the target by clicking the toolbar button, as
shown in the graphic.
SIMPL+ Toolbar
NOTE: You can select both X and 2-Series as the targets, so that the module will
work for both types of control systems. However, you are limited to SIMPL+
keywords and functions that are supported on both systems. If you do not choose a
target, then the module may or may not work, depending on the constructs that are
used.
3. Save and compile the module by clicking the Save and Compile toolbar
button; alternatively, click Save and Compile on the Build menu (or press
F12).

Converting User Modules

1. Open the User module you want to convert.
2. Click Project | Edit Program Header.
3. Click 2-Series in the Target Control System Classes list box.
You can select other types of control systems as well, but then you will be limited to
symbols that are supported by all of these platforms. The module may still work on
unselected control systems so long as unsupported symbols are not used. Selecting a
control system means that you are requiring the module to work there.
