Programming With The Crestron Systembuilder; Programming With Simpl Windows - Crestron Isys TPS-3100L Operation Manual

6.4" Lectern/Wall Mounted Touchpanel
The easiest method of
programming, but does not
offer as much flexibility as
SIMPL Windows.

out some predetermined function (a logical high or low); analog join numbers for
displaying incremental values, sliders, gauges and bar graphs; and serial join
numbers that allow for the display of variable text and transmission/reception of
serial commands from other manufacturers. Unjoined objects are not interfaced with
the system and thus cannot initiate any logic functions (although they can perform
page flips).
Programming with the Crestron AppBuilder
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. Crestron AppBuilder then programs the system, including touchpanel
projects and control system logic.
Crestron AppBuilder is fully integrated with Crestron's suite of software
development tools, including SIMPL Windows, VT Pro-e, and the Crestron
Database. Crestron AppBuilder accesses these tools behind the scenes, enabling you
to easily create robust systems.

Programming with SIMPL Windows

NOTE: The following assumes that the reader has knowledge of SIMPL Windows.
If not, refer to the extensive help information provided with the software.
NOTE: The following are acceptable file extensions for programs that include a
TPS-3100L, developed for specific control system types:
.smw: projectname.smw (SIMPL Windows source file)
.spz: projectname.spz (compiled file for 2-Series)
.bin: projectname.bin (compiled file for CNX generation)
.csz: projectname.csz (compiled file for CNX generation with SIMPL+)
.ush: projectname.ush (compiled file for CNX generation with SIMPL+ header file)
.usp: projectname.usp (source code module for SIMPL+)
.umc: projectname.umc (user macro for SIMPL)
NOTE: In the following description, the PRO2 control system is used.
SIMPL Windows is Crestron's software for programming Crestron control systems.
It provides a well-designed graphical environment with a number of workspaces
(i.e., windows) in which a programmer can select, configure, program, test, and
monitor a Crestron control system. SIMPL Windows offers drag and drop
functionality in a familiar Windows
This section describes a sample SIMPL Windows program that includes a
TPS-3100L touchpanel. A Join Number Remapping (JNR) program can be written to
augment the functionality of the touchpanel by making some of the touchpanel's
internal functions available to the SIMPL Windows programmer. Refer to "Join
Number Remapping" on page 26 for more information.
Configuration Manager is where programmers "build" a Crestron control system by
selecting hardware from the Device Library. In Configuration Manager, drag the
PRO2 from the Control Systems folder of the Device Library and drop it in the upper
pane of the System Views. The PRO2 with its associated communication ports is
displayed in the System Views upper pane.
