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 WPR-48

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.
