Signals interconnect the various devices and logic symbols that comprise a SIMPL 
program. Signals can be one of three types: digital, analog, or serial. For any given 
signal, the signal type is determined by its driving source. That is, if the symbol that 
drives the signal has an analog output, then, by definition, the signal connected there 
will be an analog signal. 
For additional information, refer to Doc. 6120, Crestron SIMPL Windows Symbol 
Guide. It may be downloaded from the Crestron website.

 

The following table lists functional descriptions for the CNMK inputs.  

CNMK Input Signal Descriptions  

SIGNAL TYPE AND NAME 

DESCRIPTION 

Serial input: <

mouse$

> The 

<

mouse$

> input sends mouse commands 

to the PC, and is usually driven by the <

data

output of the Crestron CNWM RF remote, or by 
the <

mouse$

> output of a Mouse Simulator 

symbol. The CNWM has buttons for right-clicks 
and left-clicks, as well as a pressure sensitive 
thumb pad that controls the position of the 
cursor. Similarly, the inputs of the Mouse 
Simulator symbol generate right-click and left-
click commands and also control the position of 
the cursor. 

Serial input: <

keyout$

The <

keyout$

> input sends keyboard 

commands to the PC. Here the data must be 
converted into 

keyboard scan code

 before being 

sent to the PC. (Refer to the Appendix.) 

A keyboard scan code is a code number 
transmitted to an IBM or compatible computer 
whenever a key is pressed or released. Each 
key on the keyboard has a unique scan code. 
This code is 

not

 the same as the ASCII code for 

the letter, number, or symbol shown on the key; 
it is a special identifier for the key itself and is 
always the same for a particular key. 

When a key is pressed (generating a "Make" 
scan code) or released (generating a "Break" 
scan code), the scan code is transmitted to the 
PC, which translates the scan code into its 
ASCII equivalent. Because a single key can 
generate more than one character (lowercase a 
and uppercase A, for example), the PC also 
keeps track of the status of keys that change the 
keyboard state, such as the Shift key or Num 
Lock key, and takes them into account when 
translating a scan code. 

Uploading and Upgrading
