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: While SIMPL Windows can be used to configure the QM-FTCC-TPS4,
Crestron recommends SystemBuilder software for configuring and tuning a
QuickMedia system.
NOTE: The following are acceptable file extensions for programs that include a
QM-RMCRX-BA and QM-FTCC-TPS4, developed for specific control system
types:
.smw projectname.smw (source file)
.spz projectname.spz (compiled file for 2-Series)
.usp projectname.usp (source code module for SIMPL+)
.ir projectname.ir (user IR)
.umc projectname.umc (user macro)
.ush projectname.ush (completed SIMPL+)
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
QM-FTCC-TPS4 within a Cresnet system.
Configuration Manager is where programmers “build” a Crestron control system by
selecting hardware from the Device Library. In Configuration Manager, drag the
QM-RMCRX-BA from the Control Systems folder of the Device Library and drop it
in the upper pane of the System Views. The QM-RMCRX-BA with its associated
communication ports is displayed in the System Views upper pane.
NOTE: Crestron software and any files on the website are for Authorized Crestron

NOTE: The information in this section 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 example, a QM-RMCRX-BA is used as the QuickMedia
receiver for the QM-FTCC-TPS4.
