These tools 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 advanced techniques that are available from SIMPL Windows to customize the job. Programming with the Crestron AppBuilder Easiest method of programming, but does not offer as much flexibility as SIMPL Windows. 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 programming 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 C2IR-8 within SIMPL Windows. The first section provides initial configuration information, the second section identifies the C2IR-8 symbol and defines its inputs and outputs and the final section provides the location of an example program. 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. Configure C2IR-8 Program To create a program with a C2IR-8, refer to the table after this paragraph for initial configuration information. 4 · 2-Series IR/Serial Output Expansion Card: C2IR-8 Operations & Installation Guide ­ DOC. 8172 Crestron C2IR-8 2-Series IR/Serial Output Expansion Card Configure C2IR-8 Program DEVICE LIBRARY Control Systems SYMBOL REQUIRED DROP WHERE ADDITIONAL SETUP Refer to the documentation supplied with the specific control system for additional setup information.
