Programming with SIMPL™ Windows
SIMPL (Symbol Intensive Master Programming Language) is an easy-to-use
programming language that is completely integrated and compatible with all
Crestron system hardware. The objects that are used in SIMPL Windows are called
symbols. SIMPL Windows offers drag and drop functionality in a familiar Windows
environment.
SIMPL Windows is Crestron Electronics' 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 two subsections describe a
sample SIMPL Windows program that utilizes the CN-WP12F and the CN-WP12N.
NOTE:
The following descriptions assume that the reader has knowledge of SIMPL
Windows. If not, refer to the extensive help information provided with the software.
NOTE:
There is no need to recreate the sample SIMPL Windows program. The
latest CrestronHome Programming Kit CNHOME.ZIP can be obtained from the
Downloads page (MACROS Library) of Crestron’s website (
www.crestron.com)
.

How the Program Works
The Source and Numeric Keypads are fully customizable and can be programmed as
desired. However, the CrestronHome Programming Kit contains the necessary pre-
programmed software to operate the CNX-PAD8 with the keypads. The kit contains
the SIMPL Windows program, the operational instruction PDF file, and VT Pro files
to customize touchpanel displays.
Refer to the block diagrams on the next page. The CN-WP12F provides button press
signals (source selector, ON/OFF, MUTE, transport and volume control) to the
CrestronHome Control module of the CrestronHome Programming Kit. This module
processes the signals according to the program and provides feedback signals that are
used to illuminate the LED indicators of the CN-WP12F. The button press signals of
the CN-WP12N (CLEAR, ENTER, and numeric digits 0 through 9) are input to the
CrestronHome Room Keypad module. This module processes the button press
signals and provides feedback for the LED of the ENTER button.
NOTE:
In the following example, the input signals of the CrestronHome Room
Keypad module have been rearranged for clarity. When programming, refer to the
signal names and proper inputs of the SIMPL Windows symbol.
