Operations Guide - DOC. 5699A
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. SIMPL Windows offers drag and drop
functionality in a familiar Windows
®
environment.
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 CNMK.
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 following
graphic). This tree can be expanded to display and configure the communications
ports.

To incorporate a CNMK into the system, drag the CNMK from the Cresnet Control
Modules | Cresnet I/O Control& Other Modules folder of the
Device Library
and
drop it in
System Views.
The PRO2 system tree displays the CNMK in Slot 9, with a
default Net ID of 28 as shown in the following illustration.
NOTE:
The first CNMK in a system is preset with a net ID of 28 when its symbol is
dragged into the upper pane of
System Views
. Additional units are assigned different
numbers as they are added.
