NOTE: The ID code specified in the SIMPL Windows program must 
match the IP ID of each unit. Refer to “Identity Code” on page 12. 
Program Manager 
Program Manager is the view where programmers “program” a Crestron control 
system by assigning signals to symbols. 
The symbol can be viewed by double clicking on the icon or dragging it into Detail 
View. Each signal in the symbol is described in the SIMPL Windows help file (F1). 
Programming with VisionTools Pro-e 
Touchpanel screens should be created in Crestron VisionTools
®
 (VT Pro-e
®
) to 
allow accessing the embedded applications, switching of source signals to desired 
outputs as well as selection of the system mode. There are no special programming 
requirements to use the functions of the TPMC-3X in a room control system. 
Multi-Mode Objects 
Multi-mode objects offer high-
p
erformance programming! 
The single most advanced VT Pro-e high performance programming technique 
involving the TPMC-3X is the concept of multi-mode objects. A multi-mode object 
(i.e. button, legend, etc.) is an object drawn on a VT Pro-e page that can have one or 
more active and inactive visible settings (modes). 
For examples, refer to www.crestron.com/exampleprograms
 and search for multi-
mode object examples. This file contains the VT Pro-e touchpanel files and SIMPL 
Windows files that illustrate the high-performance capabilities of multi-mode 
objects. 
WAV File Audio Messages 
The TPMC-3X touchpanels are capable of playing audio messages as system 
prompts and responses. These files are recorded as WAV files on a PC using an 
audio utility such as Sound Recorder that is packaged with Microsoft Windows 
95/98/Me/XP/NT/2000/Vista/7™. Files from other sources may also be converted to 
an acceptable format by using this or a similar utility. Many other audio utilities are 
available commercially or as shareware. The TPMC-3X touchpanels only accept the 
following WAV file formats: PCM, 8 and 16 bit, 8 – 44.1kHz, mono and stereo.
