NOTE: The latest versions can be obtained from the Downloads | Software Updates section of the Crestron website (www. crestron. com). Crestron software and any files on the website are for Authorized Crestron dealers and Crestron Authorized Independent Programmers (CAIP) only. New users may be required to register to obtain access to certain areas of the site (including the FTP site). 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 (a logical high or low); analog join numbers for 22 · 12 Inch Tilt/Lectern Touchpanels: TPS-4500 & TPS-4500L Operations Guide - DOC. 5891A Crestron TPS-4500 & TPS-4500L 12 Inch Tilt/Lectern Touchpanels 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 The easiest method of programming, but does not offer as much flexibility as SIMPL Windows. 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. Crestron AppBuilder then programs the system, including touchpanel projects and control system logic. Crestron AppBuilder is fully integrated with Crestron's suite of software development tools, including SIMPL Windows, VT Pro-e, and the Crestron Database. 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: The following are acceptable file extensions for programs that include a TPS-4500/L, developed for specific control system types: smw: projectname. smw (SIMPL Windows source file) . spz: projectname. spz (compiled file for 2-series) . bin: projectname. bin (compiled file for CNX generation) . csz: projectname. csz (compiled SIMPL+ file for CNX generation ) . ush: projectname. ush (compiled file for CNX generation with SIMPL+ header file) . usp: projectname. usp (source code module for SIMPL+) . umc: projectname. umc (user macro) 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-4500/L touchpanel. A Join Number Remapping (JNR) program can be written to augment the functionality of the touchpanel by making some of the touchpanel's internal functions available to the SIMPL Windows programmer.
