Ethernet Card for TPS/Lectern Panel Crestron TPS-ENETL
The Crestron AppBuilder is fully integrated with Crestron's suite of
software development tools, including SIMPL Windows, VisionTools
TM
Pro-e (VT Pro-e), Crestron Database, User IR Database, and User
Modules Directory.
The Crestron AppBuilder accesses these tools behind the scenes,
enabling you to easily create robust systems.
NOTE: While the touchpanel can be used to control any device in your
system, Application Builder provides specialized templates for the Audio
Distribution and Audio/Video Distribution plug-ins. To take advantage of
this built-in functionality, make sure you check the appropriate plug-in
check box when adding these interfaces to your AppBuilder project.
Programming with SIMPL Windows
NOTE: The following assumes that the reader has knowledge of SIMPL
Windows. If not, refer to the extensive help information provided with
the software.
NOTE: In the following description, the PRO2 control system is used.
SIMPL Windows is Crestron's software for programming Crestron
control systems. It provides a well-designed graphical environment with
a number of workspaces (i.e., windows) in which a programmer can
select, configure, program, test, and monitor a Crestron control system.
SIMPL Windows offers drag and drop functionality in a familiar
Windows

environment.
This section explains how to create a SIMPL Windows program that
includes a TPS-ENETL equipped touchpanel.
Configuration Manager is where programmers “build” a Crestron control
system by selecting hardware from the Device Library. In Configuration
Manager, drag the PRO2 from the Control Systems folder of the Device
Library and drop it in the upper pane of the System Views. The PRO2
with its associated communication ports is displayed in the System Views
upper pane.
