The SIMPL Windows interface provides two workspaces: the Configuration Manager, for configuring the control system, touchpanels, and controlled network devices; and Program Manager, for designing the logic and functionality of the control system. In addition, you can use the powerful Crestron Viewport utility to accomplish multiple system tasks, such as uploading the program to the control system and performing diagnostic functions. NOTE: The information in this section assumes that the reader has knowledge of SIMPL Windows. If not, refer to the extensive help information provided with the software. NOTE: The QM-RMCRX control system is used in the following descriptions. This section describes a sample SIMPL Windows program that includes a QM-TX. Configuration Manager is where programmers "build" a Crestron control system by selecting hardware from the Device Library. In Configuration manager, drag the QM-RMCRX from the Control Systems folder of the Device Library and drop it in the upper pane of the System Views. The QM-RMCRX with its associated communication ports is displayed in the System Views upper pane. QM-RMCRX System View The System Views lower pane displays the QM-RMCRX system tree (refer to the following graphic). This tree can be expanded to display and configure the communication ports.

The QM-RMCRX system tree displays the QM-TX in Slot 5, with a default Net ID of 1B as shown in the following illustration. NOTE: The first QM-TX in a system is preset with a Net ID of 1B when its symbol is dragged into the upper pane of System Views.
