Recommended Cleaning 

Keep the surface of the touchscreen free of dirt, dust, or other materials that could 
degrade optical properties. Long term contact with abrasive materials can scratch the 
surface, which may detrimentally affect image quality. 

For best cleaning results, use a clean, damp, non-abrasive cloth with any 
commercially available non-ammonia glass cleaner. Bezels may not provide a 
complete watertight seal. Therefore, apply cleaning solution to the cloth rather than 
the surface of the touchscreen. Wipe touchscreen clean and avoid ingress of moisture 
beneath the bezels.

Setup is easy thanks to Crestron’s Windows

-based programming software. Crestron 

Application Builder™ (AppBuilder) creates a complete project, with no special 
programming required. Crestron AppBuilder completes all necessary programming 
for a base system including all touchpanel screens and the control system program. 
Once Crestron AppBuilder creates the project, the system interfaces and program 
logic can be customized. It can easily be modified with Crestron development tools 
(i.e., SIMPL Windows and Crestron VisionTools

®

 Pro-e (VT Pro-e) software 

packages).  

The program output of Crestron AppBuilder is a SIMPL Windows program with 
much of the functionality encapsulated in macros. Therefore, extending the 
capabilities of the system is very easy. Crestron AppBuilder and SIMPL Windows 
are intended for users with different levels of programming knowledge. Crestron 
AppBuilder is easier to use for the beginning programmer, and much faster for all 
programmers. However, it does not allow the degree of control and flexibility that 
SIMPL Windows does. Of course, one can initiate programming using the easiest 
method (Crestron AppBuilder) and use advanced techniques that are available from 
SIMPL Windows to customize the job. 

Crestron AppBuilder comes with templates for all supported interfaces. If a user 
wishes to create a touchpanel project using templates with a different look-and-feel 
this can be accomplished by making a custom template. This custom template can 
then be used by Crestron AppBuilder to create the final project files to be loaded into 
the panels. Alternatively, VT Pro-e can be used to tweak projects created with 
Crestron AppBuilder or develop original touchpanel screen designs. 

The following are recommended software version requirements for the PC: 

• 

(Optional) Application Builder version 1.1.6 or later with Application 
Builder Templates version 2.12 or later. Requires SIMPL Windows. 

• 

SIMPL Windows version 1.50.05 or later. Requires SIMPL+ Cross 
Compiler version 1.1.
