• The ID code specified in the SIMPL Windows program must match the Net
ID or IP ID of each unit.
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 or display screens should be created in 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 TPS-GA-TPI in a room-control system.
Multi-Mode Objects
Multi-mode objects offer high-
erformance programming!
The single most-advanced VT Pro-e high-performance programming technique
involving the TPS-GA-TPI 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 http://www.crestron.com/downloads/example_programs.asp
and search for Multi-mode object examples. This file contains the VT Pro-e interface
files and SIMPL Windows files that illustrate the high-performance capabilities of
multi-mode objects.
WAV File Audio Messages
The TPS-GA-TPI interfaces are capable of producing (via headphone jack) or
transmitting (via QuickMedia) 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™. 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 TPS-GA-TPI interfaces only accept the following WAV file format: PCM,
8KHz, mono, 8-bit. For more information about how to use Sound Recorder, refer
