Crestron AppBuilder is fully integrated with Crestron's suite of software
development tools, including SIMPL Windows, VT Pro-e, and the Crestron
Database. Crestron AppBuilder accesses these tools behind the scenes, enabling you
to easily create robust systems.

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 primary 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 describes a sample SIMPL Windows program that includes a
CNXRMC.
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.
PRO2 System View
The System Views lower pane displays the PRO2 system tree (refer to graphic on the
next page). This tree can be expanded to display and configure the communications
ports.
