Configuring with 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 SystemBuilder
(for example, in VT Pro-e or SIMPL Windows) are not preserved when you
reenter SystemBuilder.

After entering the appropriate information in each step, SystemBuilder creates
the control system logic and touchpanel pages, ready to upload to the controller.
NOTE: Crestron SystemBuilder version 2.0 or higher is required.
