modules. You can add a device to your system simply by selecting it from one of the
toolboxes and dragging it to a room. The available toolboxes differ depending on the
View but all Views include a "General" toolbox that allows you to add areas and
rooms at any time.
Programming with SIMPL Windows
NOTE: While SIMPL Windows can be used to program the MC3, it is
recommended to use SystemBuilder for configuring a system.
NOTE: If the MC3 is to be programmed with SIMPL Windows, use version 3 or
later.
SIMPL Windows is Crestron’s premier software for programming Crestron control
systems. It is organized into two separate but equally important “Managers”:
Configuration and Program.
Configuration Manager
Configuration Manager is the view where programmers “build” a Crestron control
system by selecting hardware from the Device Library.
To incorporate the MC3 as the “master” control system, drag the MC3 from the
Control Systems folder of the Device Library and drop it in the System Views.

MC3 Device Tree in System Views
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).
