Migration to SIMPL Windows

Changes from Workshop

Installation & Operations Guide – DOC. 5728C
Crestron has been working hard to develop easy-to use Windows-based programs for
our customers. The link between Crestron systems hardware, panels, and controlled
devices is Crestron software. The design and programming tools (VisionTools™
Pro-e and SIMPL™ Windows) are a unified and integrated software package that
works with all Crestron hardware.
Design the touchpanel with the integrated graphics tool, VT Pro-e. VT Pro-e gives
programmers the best of both worlds allowing custom touchpanels and push button
panels to be designed and programmed. Create the "intelligence" of the system with
SIMPL Windows; Crestron's Windows-based, 32-bit, drag-n-drop software. SIMPL
Windows can integrate your touchpanel designs (created in VT Pro-e), automatically
naming signals to match the button functions.
Crestron Electronics has been hard at work developing and integrating its software.
SIMPL Windows retains the methodology of Cresnet II Workshop and incorporates
many new features. SIMPL Windows is compatible with all our current control
systems. SIMPL Windows is the only programming software for Crestron's
generation CNX line of control systems.
SIMPL Windows is a Windows®-based program that takes advantage of Windows
easy-to-use functions such as multiple windows and drag and drop functionality
throughout the program.
SIMPL Windows includes several powerful features to help programmers make the
transition from the Cresnet II Workshop. New users will find them helpful, as well.

Symbol CrossReference

Symbol names have been changed to be more descriptive and easier to remember.
Typing the DOS Workshop name in SIMPL Windows will still work too. The
Symbol CrossReference chart will help programmers easily learn the new names for
device and logic symbols. The Symbol CrossReference lists the exact equivalence
between the old Workshop and new SIMPL Windows symbol names.
