6 • 1-Way Wireless RF Touchpanels: ST-1550 & ST-1550C
The touchpanel provides wireless RF user interface in either a Cresnet control
system or a SmarTouch control system.
If the touchpanel is to be part of the SmarTouch system, refer to the latest revision of
the SmarTouch STS Touchpanel User's Operations Guide (Doc. 5804) for
descriptions regarding the system's equipment and how to connect the panel in
programming and operation modes.
You can create a program that allows you to set up the ST-1550 and ST-1550C to
monitor and operate a Crestron control system using the Crestron programming tools
Crestron Application Builder™ (AppBuilder) and SIMPL™ Windows
are intended for users with different levels of programming knowledge. The
flexibility of each tool is proportional to the degree of programming expertise (i.e.,
the more flexible, the more a programmer needs to know and account for). Of
course, one can initiate programming using the easiest method (Crestron
AppBuilder) and use advanced techniques that are available from SIMPL Windows
to customize the job.
The following are recommended software version requirements for the PC:
•
SIMPL Windows version 2.01.05 or later. Requires SIMPL+ Cross
Compiler version 1.1.
•
Crestron Database version 11.7.211 or later.
•
Application Builder version 1.0.9 or later. Requires SIMPL Windows.
•
VisionTools Pro-e version 2.4. Used for graphical touchscreen design.
NOTE: VisionTools Pro-e (VT Pro-e) is a Windows compatible software package
for creating Crestron touchpanel screen designs. Refer to "Programming with
VisionTools™ Pro-e" on page 13 for additional details regarding VT Pro-e.
Programming with the Crestron AppBuilder
The Crestron AppBuilder 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. The Crestron AppBuilder then programs the system, including all
touchpanel projects and control system logic.
The Crestron AppBuilder 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. The Crestron AppBuilder accesses these
tools behind the scenes, enabling you to easily create robust systems.
Crestron offers a Scheduler feature built into the touchpanel. This feature allows the
end user to record a function or a sequence of button presses, and set up a time and
date schedule for the button presses to be automatically activated. There are actually
two parts to the Scheduler: developing a button sequence and scheduling a button
sequence/function. Each part can be utilized independently of the other or they can
be combined.
With proper and careful project design, end-users can easily make adjustments to the
system to record a systematic series of events to suit their needs and preferences.
Also, the end-user can schedule an event to begin at any given date and time and
