Configuration is easy thanks to Crestron's Windows
Crestron SystemBuilder™ software creates a complete project, with no special
programming required. SystemBuilder completes all necessary programming for a
base system including all screens and the control system program. The program
output of SystemBuilder is a SIMPL Windows program with much of the
functionality encapsulated in macros and templates. Once SystemBuilder creates the
project, the system interfaces and program logic can be customized in
SystemBuilder. Modifications are easily accomplished with Crestron development
tools (i.e., SIMPL Windows and Crestron VisionTools
packages).
NOTE: Modifications to the program that are made outside of SystemBuilder (for
example, in VT Pro-e or SIMPL windows) are not preserved when you reenter
SystemBuilder.
SystemBuilder comes with templates for all supported interfaces. If a user wishes to
create a project for the TPS-G-TPI interface 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 SystemBuilder to create the final project files to be
loaded into the interface. Alternatively, VT Pro-e can be used to tweak projects
created with the SystemBuilder or develop original interface screen designs.
Digital, analog and serial join numbers are a common thread between VT Pro-e and
SIMPL Windows. These numbers define how the objects on a page of a VT Pro-e
project interface to the outside world, specifically the Cresnet system as defined in
the SIMPL Windows program. There are digital join numbers that carry 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).
