The ID code specified in the SIMPL Windows program must match the IP
ID of each unit.
Program Manager is the view where programmers "program" a Crestron control
system by assigning signals to symbols.
The symbol can be viewed by double clicking on the icon or dragging it into Detail
View. Each signal in the symbol is described in the SIMPL Windows help file (F1).

Programming with VisionTools Pro-e

Touchpanel screens should be created in VisionTools
accessing the embedded applications, switching of source signals to desired outputs
as well as selection of the system mode. There are no special programming
requirements to use the functions of the TPMC-4XG in a room control system.
Multi-Mode Objects
The single most advanced VisionTools Pro-e high performance programming
technique involving the TPMC-4XG is the concept of multi-mode objects. A multi-
mode object (i.e. button, legend, etc.) is an object drawn on a VisionTools Pro-e
page that can have one or more active and inactive visible settings (modes).
For examples, refer to www.crestron.com/exampleprograms
mode object examples. This file contains the VisionTools Pro-e touchpanel files and
SIMPL Windows files that illustrate the high-performance capabilities of multi-mode
objects.
Bit Depth and File Size
A bit depth refers to the number of memory bits used to store color data for each
pixel in a raster image. A touchpanel raster image consists of a rectangular grid of
picture elements (pixels). Each pixel uses the same amount of memory to store its
color data. The amount of memory is called the bit depth of the image.
Greater bit depths are required to represent finer gradations of color. Increasing bit
depth necessarily increases file size. A black and white drawing requires only one bit
