For additional details, download SystemBuilder from the Crestron website and examine the extensive help file. Programming with SIMPL Windows NOTE: While SIMPL Windows can be used to program the TPMC-8X, it is recommended to use SystemBuilder for configuring the system. However, any 2-Series processor that is e-control enabled can be used. SIMPL Windows is Crestron's premier software for programming Crestron control systems. It is organized into two separate but equally important "Managers".

There are no special programming requirements to use the functions of the TPMC-8X in a room-control system. Multi-Mode Objects Multi-mode objects offer highperformance programming! The single most-advanced VT Pro-e high-performance programming technique involving the TPMC-8X is the concept of multi-mode objects. button, legend, etc. ) is an object drawn on a VT Pro-e page that can have one or more active and inactive visible settings (modes). For examples, refer to http://www. crestron. com/exampleprograms and search for multi-mode object examples. This file contains the VT Pro-e touchpanel files and SIMPL Windows files that illustrate the high-performance capabilities of multi-mode objects. WAV File Audio Messages The TPMC-8X touchpanels are capable of playing audio messages as system prompts and responses. These files are recorded as WAV files on a PC using an audio utility such as Sound Recorder that is packaged with Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me/XP/NT/ 2000TM. Files from other sources may also be converted to an acceptable format by using this or a similar utility.
