Crestron
SIMPL™ Windows
Software
Autofill fails if:
1. There is no communication between the control system and the PC. Check your
cabling. Check the serial port settings for baud rate, parity, etc. Go to the Viewport
and select "Check Ops" and watch to see if there is communication established there.
2. The control system that you have selected is different than the actual control
system.
3. Remember that only cards and network devices can be detected, not transmitters
or one-way wireless touchpanels, since they are not physically connected.
4. The hardware returns an identification string that is unknown. If this is a fairly
new product, check that the device library contains this device and if not, request the
newest device library from Crestron.
File Open Error
SIMPL Windows program files must follow a defined format and the file extension
must be ".smw". SIMPL Windows files should be opened only in versions of SIMPL
Windows that are the same or later than the one in which it was created. (If not, some
information may be lost, but the program may be usable.)
As with all files, a SIMPL Windows file must be spelled correctly, be writable, have
network permission to read/write/delete, and not be opened by other people or other
applications simultaneously.
Parameter Format Error
Each parameter of a symbol has one or more types that can be seen on the status bar
when the parameter field is highlighted. The allowable types are time, percent,
constant, and file, or some combination of those types. In any of these fields, you
may type an integer between -16384 and +32767 followed by "d" or a hexadecimal
number between -ffff and +ffff followed by "h". The interpretation of this number is
not as clear as using the actual unit of seconds or percent or whatever.
Time must have the format "xxxs" for seconds, "hh.mm.ss", "hh.mm.ss.tt", or "yyyt"
where t stands for "ticks", or units of 1/112 of a second. Typing a number without a
following s or t will default to s. The default of "d" or "h" numbers as described
above is identical to specifying "ticks".
Percent must have the format x.y% where x cannot be negative, x must be between 0
and 100 and y does not have to be specified. Typing a number without a following %
will default to %. The default of "d" or "h" described above is equivalent to
specifying a ratio of the typed number to 16384 (decimal), e.g. 8192d is 8192/16384
or 50%.
Constant is an integer, and it defaults to "d" above.
File is a filename that must be a legal Windows 95 filename.
Parameters may not be valid because they do not conform to the type required or the
number may be out of range.
Versions of Libraries/Databases
SIMPL Windows files should be opened only in versions of SIMPL Windows that
are the same or later than the one with which it was created. (If not, some
information may be lost, but the program may be usable.)
