Crestron QM-RMC Room Media Controller
Following are the minimum software requirements for the PC:
• SIMPL Windows version 2.04.11, with Library Update 234 or later.
(Also requires SIMPL+ Cross Compiler version 1.1). Crestron
Database version 15.9.9 or later for use with SIMPL Windows.
• (Optional) VisionTools Pro-e software version 3.1.1.7 for designing
touchpanel pages.
• (Optional) Crestron Application Builder version 1.2.3 software for
automatic residential and commercial programming of the QM-RMC as
a control system. As of press time, this version of Crestron Application
Builder had not been released. Please check the Crestron FTP site.
• (Optional) DEAL for Windows IR learning software version 3.01
• (Optional) Crestron RoomView™ version 2.0.0.3
Programming with the Crestron AppBuilder
Crestron AppBuilder is easier
to use for the beginning
programmer, and much faster
for all programmers. However
it does not allow the degree of
flexibility and control that
SIMPL Window does.
NOTE: The QM-RMC can be optionally programmed with Crestron
Application Builder version 1.2 software for automatic residential and
commercial programming of the QM-RMC as a control system. As of press
time, this version of Crestron Application Builder had not been released. Please
check the Crestron FTP site.
The Crestron AppBuilder interface guides you through a few basic steps for
designating rooms and specifying the control system, touchpanels, devices, and
functionality. The Crestron AppBuilder then programs the system, including all
touchpanel projects and control system logic.
The Crestron AppBuilder is fully integrated with the Crestron suite of software
development tools, including SIMPL Windows, 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.
Programming with SIMPL Windows
NOTE: The following are acceptable file extensions for programs that include
a QM-RMC, developed for specific control system types:
projectname.smw (source file)
projectname.spz (compiled file for 2-Series)
projectname.usp (source code module for SIMPL+)
SIMPL Windows is the Crestron graphical, Windows-based development tool
for programming control systems. The SIMPL Windows interface provides two
workspaces: the Configuration Manager, for configuring the control system,
touchpanels, and controlled network devices; and Program Manager, for
designing the logic and functionality of the control system.
In addition, you can use the powerful Crestron Viewport utility to accomplish
multiple system tasks, such as uploading the program to the control system and
performing diagnostic functions. Together with the Crestron Database, these
tools provide you with the essential components you need to program the QM-
RMC. Crestron software is available from the Crestron website
(www.crestron.com
)—registration is required for downloading.
