C2COM-2/3
SIMPL Windows is Crestron's primary 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. SIMPL Windows offers drag and drop
functionality in a familiar Windows
environment.
This section explains how to create a SIMPL Windows program that includes the
C2COM-2/3. It also gives descriptions of parameters and features of the selected
control and serial devices and drivers.

selecting hardware from the
Device Library
. In Configuration Manager, drag the
PRO2 from the Control Systems
folder of the
Device Library
and drop it in the

is displayed in the

232/422/485 between a serial device and the PRO2 control system.
In Configuration Manager, drag the C2COM-2/3 from the Plug-in Control Cards |
Cards (2-Series Y Bus) folder of the
Device Library
and drop it on the C2Y Card
Slot (01) in
