Configuration is easy thanks to Crestron’s Windows-based programming
software. Crestron SystemBuilder™ software creates a complete project, with
no special programming required. SystemBuilder completes all necessary
programming for a base system including all touchpanel screens and the control
system program. The program output of SystemBuilder is a SIMPL Windows
program with much of the functionality encapsulated in macros and templates.
Once SystemBuilder creates the project, the system interfaces and program logic
can be customized in SystemBuilder or can be easily modified with Crestron
development tools (i.e., SIMPL Windows and Crestron VisionTools
®
Pro-e (VT
Pro-e) software packages).
SystemBuilder comes with templates for all supported interfaces. If a user
wishes to create a touchpanel project using templates with a different look-and-
feel, this can be accomplished by making a custom template. This custom
template can then be used by SystemBuilder to create the final project files to be
loaded into the panels. Alternatively, VT Pro-e can be used to tweak projects
created with the SystemBuilder or develop original touchpanel screen designs.
