Integrated Professional Automation Computer Crestron IPAC-GL1
View but all Views include a "General" toolbox that allows you to add areas and
rooms at any time.
Programming with SIMPL Windows
NOTE: The default program that ships with the IPAC-GL1 is not protected.
Uploading a new program will erase the default program.
NOTE: While SIMPL Windows can be used to program the IPAC, it is
recommended to use D3 Pro for configuring a system.
SIMPL Windows is Crestron’s premier software for programming Crestron control
systems. It is organized into two separate but equally important “Managers”.
Configuration Manager
Configuration Manager is the view where programmers “build” a Crestron control
system by selecting hardware from the Device Library.
• To incorporate the IPAC into the system, drag the IPAC from the Control
Systems folder of the Device Library and drop it in the System Views.
Locating the IPAC in the Device Library
Program Manager
Program Manager is the view where programmers “program” a Crestron control
system by assigning signals to symbols.
The symbol can be viewed by double clicking on the icon or dragging it into Detail
View. Each signal in the symbol is described in the SIMPL Windows help file (F1).
Programming with VisionTools Pro-e
NOTE: Pages that are part of the default program are not protected and will be
erased if a new VT Pro-e project is loaded to the IPAC.
VisionTools Pro-e (VT Pro-e) is used to design pages for the front panel that can be
used to operate a program.
For more information, refer to the VT Pro-e help file (F1).
