From a ZIP file:

  If the downloaded job is from Crestron’s website or 

e-mail, all files may have been compressed into an archive file with a 
ZIP extension. 

For this ZIP file to be used by SIMPL Windows, select 

File | Import 

Archived Program 

from the Crestron Viewport. This will open a 

dialog box similar to the one shown below, after selecting the ZIP to 
import. 

Import an Archived (ZIP File) Program Dialog Box 

 

The job may be copied to any folder or directory, and the User IR, 
Macro, and SIMPL+ files will be copied to the proper directories. If a 
version of SIMPL Windows lower than 1.30.01 is being used, copy the 
ZIP file into the job directory stated in step 1, then extract the files with 
a program called WinZip. Obtain a copy of this program from their 
website (www.winzip.com) on the Internet. Extract the files into the 
same directory where the archive was copied. Once files are extracted, 
retain the original ZIP file in case the files need to be restored at any 
point. The User IR, Macro, and SIMPL+ modules will need to be 
copied to their proper directories manually. 

File Types 

There are quite a few file types involved with Crestron       

Possible Directory

 

Structure 

c

ontrol software. This section explains the different 

types that might be encountered in each directory. In 
many cases, the supplied software is grouped into a 
number of subdirectories. The intent is to keep files 
organized. For example, after copying the files to the 
hard disk, the directory structure 

may 

appear as shown 

on the right.  

NOTE:

  In this example, the Vt3501 and 

Vt3502directories represent two touchpanels that are 
part of the entire remote control system. Consult the 
connection sheets or other supplied information to 
determine which directory corresponds to a given 
touchpanel. 

Ops Subdirectory 

- The file (described in the table below) in this subdirectory 

contains the CEN-TVAV operating system with which the program was tested.
