Technical information

Software Crestron SIMPL™ Windows
the generation of text file (.smp extension) during compilation. This file is a syntax
listing of the program that is used by Crestron for debugging purposes.
Show Signals without Destinations as Notices
If checked, signals without destinations are reported as notices after compilation. Use
this information to debug the program. If unchecked, signals without destinations are
ignored and may be overlooked before the final compilation. These signals do no
harm, but they do take memory and processing time. They could also represent
incomplete programming; therefore Crestron recommends that the box remains
unchecked.
Report Warnings / Notices found in Crestron Macros
It is good practice to leave this checked. Crestron macros have already been
debugged, so there is no need to use resources to check for warnings and notices
within them.
Report Warnings / Notices found in User Macros
It is good practice to leave this checked. It is likely that user macros have already
been debugged separately. There is no need to use resources to check for warnings
and notices within them and report them again, if any exist.
Don't Compile with Incomplete Symbols
It is good practice to leave this checked. If checked, the program will not compile if
there are any incomplete signals found. The programmer then has the option to
rework the program and complete symbols or comment out symbols. If unchecked, a
program with incomplete symbols could compile. The resultant program could lead
to unknown problems within the system. However, it may prove useful while writing
a program as long as the program is not uploaded to the system.
Optimize Serial Strings for Touchpanels
It is good practice to leave this checked assuming the required OPS is loaded.
Checking this item saves space and makes the program more efficient.
Compiling the Program
Compile the program by selecting Project | Convert/Compile or click on the
Compile button. SIMPL Windows will display several possible message windows
and prompt the user to answer them in order to proceed with the compile process.
