Programming with Crestron AppBuilder or D3 Pro
The easiest
method of
p
rogramming,
but does not
offer as much
f
lexibility
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 all touchpanel projects and control
system logic.
Crestron D3 Pro similarly offers automatic programming for lighting and
HVAC projects.
Both Crestron AppBuilder and D3 Pro integrate fully with Crestron's
suite of software development tools, including SIMPL Windows, VT
Pro-e, and the Crestron Database. Both access 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: 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.
