You can create a program that allows you to set up the STX-1700CXPW to operate a
Crestron control system using the Crestron programming tools Crestron
SystemBuilder™ and SIMPL Windows. These tools 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 (SystemBuilder) and use advanced
techniques that are available from SIMPL Windows to customize the job.
