Numeric & Function Keypads Crestron CNX-BN12 & CNX-BF12
The Crestron AppBuilder accesses these tools behind the scenes,
enabling you to easily create robust systems.
NOTE: While the keypads 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 numeric keypad.
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.
