 AMS 
Any program created for the AMS with SystemBuilder will include the out-of-the-
box functionality in addition to any additional programming created with 
SystemBuilder. 
Programming with SIMPL Windows 
NOTE: While SIMPL Windows can be used to program the AMS, it is 
recommended to use Adagio Composer, SystemBuilder, and Pro Sound Tools for 
configuring a system. 
SIMPL Windows is Crestron’s premier software for programming Crestron control 
systems. It is organized into two separate, but equally important “Managers”. 
NOTE: When programming an AMS in SIMPL Windows, always begin with the 
example program and modify as required. To find example programs, refer to 
“Example Program” on page 99. Also visit Crestron’s True Blue Support on the web 
for more programming tips. 
Configuration Manager 
Configuration Manager is the view where programmers “build” a Crestron control 
system by selecting hardware from the Device Library. 
•  To incorporate the AMS into the system, drag the AMS from the Control 
Systems folder of the Device Library and drop it in the System Views. 
Locating the AMS in the Device Library 
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 
VisionTools Pro-e (VT Pro-e) is used to design pages for the front panel that can be 
triggered from the HOUSE button, and page flips. 
For more information, refer to the VT Pro-e help file (F1). 
Configuring the AMS 
Use Pro Sound Tools software to configure the rooms and theater connected to the 
AMS. For more information, refer to the Pro Sound Tools help file.
