SIMPL+ Overview
NOTE: SIMPL+ is only available with 2 Series processors and the CNMSX (Pro or
AV).
SIMPL+ is included in this SIMPL Windows to further extend the programming
power of SIMPL Windows. SIMPL+ gives programmers the ability to add their own
symbols to the Crestron language. The symbol can perform as much or as little of the
SIMPL program as desired.
SIMPL+ is a procedural programming language similar to 'C' or BASIC. You do not
have to choose between SIMPL Windows and SIMPL+ when writing a program.
Instead, programmers can combine the two, using SIMPL+ for the parts of the
program they think benefit from it. More advanced programmers can use SIMPL+
exclusively. And because of its familiar syntax, SIMPL+ makes transferring
programs written for another platform to a Crestron system easier than ever before.
A SIMPL+ Programming Guide (latest revision of Doc. 5789) is available to provide
information that instructs a beginner on how to write a SIMPL+ program.
A SIMPL+ Language Reference Guide (latest revision of Doc. 5797) is available to
provide information on the proper useage of the SIMPL+ language. All available
language contructs and functions are described, proper syntax is illustrated, and
examples are provided. As the name implies, it is the perfect reference tool to have
around when preparing a SIMPL+ program.
