occur. These objects are initiated by pressing the function button that is associated 
with it.  

Default Front Panel Page 

 

Creating a Page with Front Panel Editor 

NOTE:

  The creation of a front panel page is discussed in this section. For more 

details, consult the SIMPL Windows help file. Search for Front Panel Editor.  

Assume that a page, as shown after this paragraph, is required. The concept of such 
an application is that the user can then choose a given device and then, from a lower-
level page, control one or more transport functions of the device.  

Example of a Front Panel Page 

 

Adding Top-Level Pages and Objects 

Use SIMPL Windows and access the Front Panel Editor by selecting 

Project | Edit 

Front Panel

. Click on the 

Add

 button and enter a new name for the new page. For 

this example, use “Menu1 – Choose Device” as the name.  

Double click on the front panel (green display area) to open the “Edit Panel Object” 
window. This example requires that headings be added to the page, so choose 

Text 

Object

 from the 

Object Type 

area. In the 

Inactive Text 

field, enter “Choose device” 

and click 

OK

. The object is displayed on the panel. Click on and drag the object to 

its desired location on the panel, top row.  

Add additional objects (VCR, DVD, CD, Lights, and Volume) to the page by double 
clicking in the display area where the object is to appear. Repeat the procedure in the 
previous paragraph; place objects over the appropriate menu function button.  

NOTE:

  Objects on a screen can be copied and pasted to facilitate ease of design 

(using SIMPL Windows v2.00 or later).  

Adding Lower-Level Pages and Objects 

Lower-level pages can be added for each of the objects on the bottom row of the 
page just created. For the purpose of this example, one lower-level page is added for
