to initiate the change. This will display the "ID command
has been sent" window.
7. In the "Command Complete" window, click

.
8. In
the

code.
9. In the "Set Network ID" window, click

NOTE:
The new NET ID code may also be verified by selecting

10. Repeat this procedure for each ST-VC to be added to the network.
Programming
The ST-VC can be programmed using various Crestron tools. Crestron AppBuilder
and SIMPL Windows define and set up the functions and actions appointed by the
control system. The control system interprets the button presses on the touchpanel,
carries out the command, and provides feedback to the touchpanel. The AppBuilder
and SIMPL Windows are intended for users with different levels of programming
knowledge. The flexibility of each tool is proportional to the degree of programming
expertise (i.e., the more flexible, the more a programmer needs to know and account
for). Of course, one can initiate programming using the easiest method (Crestron
AppBuilder) and use advance techniques that are available from SIMPL Windows to
customize the job.
Programming with the Crestron AppBuilder
Easiest method of
programming that by itself
does not offer the greatest
amount of flexibility.
The Crestron AppBuilder offers automatic programming for such residential and
commercial applications as audio distribution, home theater, video conferencing,
and lighting. The interface of this tool guides you through a few basic steps for
designating rooms and specifying the control system, touchpanels, devices, and
functionality. The Crestron AppBuilder then programs the system, including all
touchpanel projects and control system logic.
The Crestron AppBuilder is fully integrated with Crestron's suite of software
development tools, including SIMPL Windows, VT Pro-e, Crestron Database, User
IR Database, and User Modules Directory. The Crestron AppBuilder accesses these
tools behind the scenes, enabling you to easily create robust systems.
Programming with SIMPL Windows
SIMPL (Symbol Intensive Master Programming Language) is an easy-to-use
programing language that is completely integrated and compatible with all Crestron
system hardware. The objects that are used in SIMPL are called symbols. SIMPL
Windows offers drag and drop functionality in a familiar Windows
environment.
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.
The next three sections describe a ST-VC within SIMPL Windows. The first section
provides initial configuration information, the second section identifies the ST-VC
