System information

specified Input, Paramter or Output in the Detail View. The value entered by the programmer is based on Absolute
input/parameter/output numbers. In other words, if the programmer is on the Digitals display of a Touchpanel
Symbol, and wishes to GoTo the 3rd Analog input, the number they should enter in on the GOTO dialog would be
the number of Digital inputs + 3.

SIMPL Windows Module Programming Enhancements and New Features:
Introduction of Automated User Interface Programming:
The module programmer can choose to have a "GUI Connection Symbol" in the module. When selected, SIMPL will
add a "VirtualGUI" symbol to the module.
Module programmer can choose to import VTPro-e projects and have programming, using joins from the VTPro-e
project, automatically generated between the Virtual GUI symbol and the Default Argument symbol.
Using the Virtual GUI symbol, the module programmer will then connect signals from the Virutal GUI symbol to the
Default Argument symbol of the Module thus, creating "Default User Interface Logic" for that module.
When modules with this User Interface Connection Logic are added to a program, the programmer can then drag
that module onto a User Interface device (e.g. a touchpanel) and select to have the connection logic imported into
the program. The programmer will be prompted for starting join numbers for Digitals, Analogs and Serials and then
signals will be created in the program and will be position relative to the corresponding position in the module.
Introduction of Automated programming of device connection logic:
Module programmer can select Cresnet and/or Ethernet devices from the Module Header and SIMPL will
automatically add a "Virtual Device For Module Connection" symbol and generate programming for the selected
device(s) between the "Virtual Device For Module Connection" symbol and the DefArg symbol. Note: This has
already been available via the Module Header, Advanced Tab but was typically only used in generation of Crestron
Modules.
Front Panels in modules:
Allow Front Panels to be created and maintained in modules, and imported into programs from the module
(available via Module Header)
Updates to the Module Header Dialog:
Added Custom Category support so users can better organize their Symbol Tree.
SIMPL will now allow multiple Models to be associated with one module.
Created "Connection Logic" tab
Programmer can select if they want Gui Connection Logic (see above)
Programmer can select Cresent and/or Ethernet devices for which to generate Device Connection Logic (see
above).
Programmer can select Target Control System for Front Panel to be stored in module.
