Decrease Inputs, Outputs, Or Input/Output Pairs; Automatically Assign Unique Signal Name(S) - Crestron SW-SIMPL Installation & Operating Manual

Software
80 • Crestron SIMPL Windows
To clarify: you can delete signals in a bloc (remember, a signal is an input or output,
once named), it is the actual inputs or outputs possessed by the symbol that cannot be
deleted as a bloc. You can delete them individually, however, using Alt-.
To Decrease Inputs, Outputs, or Input/Output Pairs
In Program Manager:
1. Open the Logic Symbols folder, in the Symbol Library
2. Open your desired specific symbol folder
3. Place a symbol into Detail View
4. Select the input or output or input/output pair you wish to delete.
Use the standard Windows method for selecting non-contiguous
items.
5. Press ALT - (the ALT key and the minus (-) sign) to delete the
pair. SIMPL Windows will ask if wish to perform the deletion.
NOTE: Inputs, outputs, or input/output pairs deleted this way must be done so one at
a time.

Automatically Assign Unique Signal Name(s)

The AutoName feature will automatically assign unique signal names to one or more
of your signals. This feature is best used when you need to generate a number of
signal names quickly. As the size of your program grows, it will become difficult to
recall which signal is which, and what signal does what, unless they are intelligently
and descriptively named. It is recommended that you provide your own signal
names, even in the cases where AutoName is used to quickly name a group of
signals, Crestron recommends that programmers go back when time allows and
rename those signals with unique and descriptive names.
To use AutoName
For a given signal:
•
Double-click, then click elsewhere in the symbol, or
•
Click once to select, then press Enter twice.
A unique signal name will appear, consisting of a combination of the symbol
Number and the Prompt for that input or output.
Examples
To quickly AutoName a column of Inputs from top to bottom:
1. Double-click on every input.
OR
1. Click the first input to highlight it
2. Press and release the Enter key
3. Press and release the Down arrow
Repeat steps two and three for each input.
