Setup is easy thanks to Crestron’s Windows

-based programming
software. The Crestron Application Builder™ (AppBuilder) creates a
complete project, with no special programming required. Crestron
AppBuilder completes all necessary programming for a base system
including all touchpanel screens and the control system program. Once
Crestron AppBuilder creates the project, the system interfaces and
program logic can be customized. It can easily be modified with Crestron
development tools (i.e., SIMPL Windows and Crestron VisionTools
®
Pro-e (VT Pro-e) software packages).
The program output of Crestron AppBuilder is a SIMPL Windows
program with much of the functionality encapsulated in macros and
templates. Therefore, extending the capabilities of the system is very
easy. Crestron AppBuilder and SIMPL Windows are intended for users
with different levels of programming knowledge. Crestron AppBuilder is
easier to use for the beginning programmer, and much faster for all
programmers. However, it does not allow the degree of control and
flexibility that SIMPL Windows does. 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.
Crestron AppBuilder comes with templates for all supported interfaces. If
a user wishes to create a touchpanel project using templates with a
different look-and-feel, this can be accomplished by making a custom
template. This custom template can then be used by Crestron AppBuilder
to create the final project files to be loaded into the panels. Alternatively,
VT Pro-e can be used to tweak projects created with the Crestron
AppBuilder or develop original touchpanel screen designs.
