You can access the Crestron Web site directly from the SIMPL Windows Online
Support menu. Click Crestron Online for the Crestron home page, or click
Crestron Design Center to open the Dealer/Tech Resources page.
The Crestron Product Catalog and Technical Reference CD is another valuable
tool that you can use in conjunction with the Crestron Web site, or any time you're
not connected to the Internet. The CD is a comprehensive library of Crestron
brochures, catalogs, product specification sheets, CAD drawings and user manuals.
You can browse the CD independent of any Crestron program, or you can link the
CD directly to SIMPL Windows to display documentation for devices you select in
the Device Library.
To access user manuals from SIMPL Windows
1. Insert the Product Catalog CD into the CD-ROM drive (you can close the
selection screen if it opens automatically).
2. In the SIMPL Windows Device Library, select whichever Crestron control
system, network device, touchpanel or control card you want documentation
for and press F1.
3. The first time you try to access the Product Catalog CD from SIMPL
Windows you will be prompted to browse for the CD-ROM drive or folder
where the CD is located. Locate the drive or folder and click Open.
4. If documentation is available for the selected device, SIMPL Windows will
find the PDF file and open it in Adobe Reader. If no PDF file is available
for the device, then the SIMPL Windows help file will display
programming help for the device.
5. You can click Product Catalog CD on the SIMPL Windows Help menu
any time you want to open the CD selection screen for documents,
brochures, CAD drawings, or utilities.
6. If you do not have the CD inserted and you press F1 on a device in the
Device Library, SIMPL Windows will prompt you to insert the CD. You
can then either insert the CD or click Cancel to view the online help file.
