Programming

You can create a program that allows you to control the TPS-ENETL equipped TPS touchpanel via Ethernet through a Crestron control system using the Crestron programming tools Crestron Application Builder™ (AppBuilder) and SIMPL Windows. These tools are intended for users with different levels of programming knowledge. The flexibility of each tool is proportional to the degree of programming expertise (i.e., the more flexible, the more a programmer needs to know and account for). Of course, one can initiate programming using the easiest method (Crestron AppBuilder) and use advanced techniques that are available from SIMPL Windows to customize the job. The following are recommended software version requirements for the PC:
SIMPL Windows version 2.01.06 or later. Requires SIMPL+ Cross Compiler version 1.1.
Crestron Database version 15.7.4 or later.
Application Builder version 1.0.17 or later. Requires SIMPL
Windows.

Programming with the Crestron AppBuilder

The easiest method of
rogramming, but does not offer as much
lexibility as SIMPL Windows.
Operations & Installation Guide - DOC. 6013 Ethernet Card for TPS/Lectern Panel: TPS-ENETL 19
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.
Ethernet Card for TPS/Lectern Panel Crestron TPS-ENETL
The Crestron AppBuilder is fully integrated with Crestron's suite of software development tools, including SIMPL Windows, VisionTools
TM
Pro-e (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.
NOTE: While the touchpanel can be used to control any device in your system, Application Builder provides specialized templates for the Audio Distribution and Audio/Video Distribution plug-ins. To take advantage of this built-in functionality, make sure you check the appropriate plug-in check box when adding these interfaces to your AppBuilder project.

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 explains how to create a SIMPL Windows program that includes a TPS-ENETL equipped 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.
