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-4000L 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 27 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.
PRO2 System View
The System Views lower pane displays the PRO2 system tree. This tree can be
expanded to display and configure the communications ports.
