Isys i/O™ WiFi Touchpanel Crestron TPMC-10 Detail View of the TPMC-10 in SIMPL Windows’ Programming Manager Signal Types Signals interconnect the various devices and logic symbols that comprise a SIMPL program. Signals can be one of three types: digital, analog, or serial. For any given signal, the signal type is determined by its driving source. That is, if the symbol that drives the signal has an analog output, then, by definition, the signal connected there will be an analog signal.
Isys i/O™ WiFi Touchpanel Crestron TPMC-10 ranging from 0 to 65535 (216-1). This 16-bit property makes analog signals useful for controlling devices that do not have discrete settings, such as volume controllers, pan/tilt head controllers, and lighting dimmers. Serial Signals Serial signals are used to facilitate the transmission of serial data (strings of characters). These signals can be generated by incoming data on a COM port or by a symbol that has a serial output.
