Earliest Version Software Requirements for the PC
NOTE: Crestron recommends that you use the latest software to take advantage of
the most recently released features. The latest software is available from the Crestron
Web site (www.crestron.com/software
).
Crestron has developed an assortment of Windows
-based software tools to develop
a customized system. Use SystemBuilder™ or SIMPL Windows to create a program
to control the SWE-8.
Programming with SystemBuilder
SystemBuilder is a comprehensive programming environment. Appropriate for most
systems, it can quickly and easily generate a complete working program including
both control processor logic and touch screen graphics.
Programming with SIMPL Windows
NOTE: While SIMPL Windows can be used to program the SWE-8, it is
recommended to use SystemBuilder 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 and Program.
Configuration Manager
Configuration Manager is the view where programmers “build” a Crestron control
system by selecting hardware from the Device Library.
