The ID code specified in the SIMPL Windows program must match the Net
ID or IP ID of each unit. Refer to “Identity Code” on page 16.
Program Manager
Program Manager is the view where programmers “program” a Crestron control
system by assigning signals to symbols.
The symbol can be viewed by double clicking on the icon or dragging it into
Detail
View
. Each signal in the symbol is described in the SIMPL Windows help file (
F1
).
Programming with VisionTools Pro-e
Touchpanel screens should be created in VT Pro-e to allow accessing the embedded
applications, switching of source signals to desired outputs as well as selection of the
system mode. There are no special programming requirements to use the functions of
the TPMC-12 in a room control system.
Multi-Mode Objects
Multi-mode objects offer high-
performance programming!
The single most advanced VT Pro-e high performance programming technique
involving the TPMC-12 is the concept of multi-mode objects. A multi-mode object
(i.e. button, legend, etc.) is an object drawn on a VT Pro-e page that can have one or
more active and inactive visible settings (
modes
).
For examples, refer to
www.crestron.com/exampleprograms
and search for multi-
mode object examples. This file contains the VT Pro-e touchpanel files and SIMPL
Windows files that illustrate the high-performance capabilities of multi-mode
objects.
WAV File Audio Messages
The TPMC-12 touchpanels are capable of playing audio messages as system prompts
and responses. These files are recorded as WAV files on a PC using an audio utility
such as Sound Recorder that is packaged with Microsoft Windows
95/98/Me/XP/NT/2000/Vista™. Files from other sources may also be converted to
an acceptable format by using this or a similar utility. Many other audio utilities are
available commercially or as shareware. The TPMC-12 touchpanels only accept the
following WAV file format:
PCM, 8 and 16 bit, 8 – 44.1kHz, mono and stereo
.
