5. The ID code specified in the SIMPL Windows program must match the IP
ID of each unit. Refer to "Identity Code" on page 10.
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-4SM in a room control system.
"Accessing the embedded applications," should be included only for i/O devices.
Multi-Mode Objects
The single most advanced VT Pro-e high performance programming technique
involving the TPMC-4SM is the concept of multi-mode objects. A multi-mode
object (i.e. button, legend, etc.) is an object drawn on a VT Pro-e page that can have
one or more active and inactive visible settings (modes).
For examples, refer to www.crestron.com/exampleprograms
multi-mode object examples. This file contains the VT Pro-e touchpanel files and
SIMPL Windows files that illustrate the high-performance capabilities of multi-mode
objects.
WAV File Audio Messages
The TPMC-4SM touchpanels are capable of playing audio messages as system
prompts and responses. These files are recorded as WAV files on a PC using an
audio utility such as Sound Recorder that is packaged with Microsoft Windows
95/98/Me/XP/NT/2000/Vista/7™. Files from other sources may also be converted to
an acceptable format by using this or a similar utility. Many other audio utilities are
available commercially or as shareware. The TPMC-4SM touchpanels only accept
the following WAV file formats: PCM, 8 and 16 bit, 8 – 44.1kHz, mono and
stereo. For more information about how to use Sound Recorder, refer to its User's
Guide and extensive help information provided with the software. Also refer to the
