SIMPL (Symbol Intensive Master Programming Language) is an easy-to-use
programming language that is completely integrated and compatible with all
Crestron system hardware. The objects that are used in SIMPL are called symbols.
SIMPL Windows offers drag and drop functionality in a familiar Windows
environment.
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.
NOTE
: The following assumes that the reader has knowledge of SIMPL Windows.
If not, refer to the extensive help information provided with the software.
NOTE
: In the following description, the PRO2 control system is used.
This section describes a sample SIMPL Windows program that includes a C2N-
DAP8.
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 (refer to figure below).
This tree can be expanded to display and configure the communications ports.
Expanded PRO2 System Tree
C2Net-Device Slot in Configuration Manager
To incorporate a C2N-DAP8 into the system, drag the unit’s symbol from the
Cresnet Control Modules | Cresnet Audio Modules folder of the
Device Library
and
drop it in
System Views
. The PRO2 system tree displays the unit in Slot 9, with a
default NET ID of 50, as shown in the illustration on the next page.
NOTE:
The first C2N-DAP8 in a system is preset with a NET ID of 50 when its
symbol is dragged into the upper pane of
System Views
. Additional C2N-DAP8s are
automatically assigned different NET ID numbers as they are added.
