SIMPL Windows is the Crestron graphical, Windows
®
-based development tool
for programming control systems. The SIMPL Windows interface provides two
workspaces: the Configuration Manager, for configuring the control system,
touchpanels, and controlled network devices; and Program Manager, for
designing the logic and functionality of the control system.
In addition, you can use the powerful Installer’s Toolbox utility to accomplish
multiple system tasks, such as uploading the program to the control system and
performing diagnostic functions.
NOTE: The information in this section assumes that the reader has knowledge
of SIMPL Windows. If not, refer to the extensive help information provided
with the software.

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 System Views upper pane.
