NOTE: The TPS-2000L touchpanel is supplied with 10 blank pushbuttons. Optional
custom engraved keys can be ordered separately by using the Crestron Engraver
Software. Version 2.0.0.9 or later is available from the Downloads | Software
Updates section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com

Digital, analog and serial join numbers are a common thread between VT Pro-e and
SIMPL Windows. These numbers define how the objects on a touchpanel page of a
VT Pro-e project interface to the outside world, specifically the Cresnet system as
defined in the SIMPL Windows program. There are digital join numbers that carry
out some predetermined function from a button press and release (a logical high or
low); analog join numbers for displaying incremental values, sliders, gauges and bar
graphs; and serial join numbers that allow for the display of variable text and
transmission/reception of serial commands from other manufacturers. Unjoined
objects are not interfaced with the system and thus cannot initiate any logic functions
(although they can perform page flips).
Programming with the Crestron AppBuilder
Easiest method of programming
that by itself does not offer the
greatest amount of flexibility.
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
NOTE: The following assumes that the reader has knowledge of SIMPL Windows.
If not, refer to the extensive help information provided with the software.
NOTE: In the following description, the PRO2 control system is used.
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. SIMPL Windows offers drag and drop
functionality in a familiar Windows
®
environment.
This section describes a sample SIMPL Windows program that includes a
TPS-2000L touchpanel.
Configuration Manager is where programmers “build” a Crestron control system by
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 upper
pane of the System Views. The PRO2 with its associated communication ports is
displayed in the System Views upper pane.
