Setup is easy thanks to Crestron's Windows
Application Builder™ (AppBuilder) creates a complete project, with no special
programming required. Crestron AppBuilder completes all necessary programming
for a base system including all touchpanel screens and the control system program.
Once Crestron AppBuilder creates the project, the system interfaces and program
logic can be customized. It can easily be modified with Crestron development tools
(i.e., SIMPL Windows and Crestron VisionTools
packages).
The program output of Crestron AppBuilder is a SIMPL Windows program with
much of the functionality encapsulated in macros. Therefore, extending the
capabilities of the system is very easy. Crestron AppBuilder and SIMPL Windows
are intended for users with different levels of programming knowledge. Crestron
AppBuilder is easier to use for the beginning programmer, and much faster for all
programmers. However, it does not allow the degree of control and flexibility that
SIMPL Windows does. 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.
Crestron AppBuilder comes with templates for all supported interfaces. If a user
wishes to create a touchpanel project using templates with a different look-and-feel
this can be accomplished by making a custom template. This custom template can
then be used by Crestron AppBuilder to create the final project files to be loaded into
the panels. Alternatively, VT Pro-e can be used to tweak projects created with
Crestron AppBuilder or develop original touchpanel screen designs.
