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 QM-RMCRX control system is used.
This section explains how to create a SIMPL Windows program that includes an
MD7x2.
Configuration Manager is where programmers “build” a Crestron control system by
selecting hardware from the
Device Library
. In Configuration Manager, drag the
QM-RMCRX from the Control Systems
folder of the
Device Library
and drop it in
the upper pane of the
System Views
. The QM-RMCRX with its associated
communication ports is displayed in the
