Crestron TPS-6 Isys™ 5.7” Tilt Touchpanel Programming with SIMPL Windows NOTE: While SIMPL Windows can be used to program the TPS-6, it is recommended to use SystemBuilder 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”. Configuration Manager Configuration Manager is the view where programmers “build” a Crestron control system by selecting hardware from the Device Library.

Refer to “Identity Code” which starts on page 10. 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.
Isys™ 5.7” Tilt Touchpanel Crestron TPS-6 Bit Depth and File Size A balance of performance and quality can be achieved by using VT Pro-e to configure the size of graphics in a project. Read this section to learn about bit depth and how to maximize the quality and performance of a TPS-6 project. Bit depth refers to the number of memory bits used to store color data for each pixel in a raster image. A touchpanel raster image consists of a rectangular grid of picture elements (pixels).
Crestron TPS-6 Isys™ 5.7” Tilt Touchpanel When creating a VT Pro-e project you can elect to compress and reduce the image size in the “Page Properties” window for the entire page and/or perform the same function of reducing the image size using the “Image Properties” window. A reduction in image size will save a considerable amount of memory space for your project. In VT Pro-e, the Compress checkbox permits the image to be compressed when compiling.
Isys™ 5.7” Tilt Touchpanel Crestron TPS-6 Pushbutton Programming Any of the buttons can be programmed to access any frequently used command. Each button has a permanently fixed digital join number. Refer to the following illustration for their assigned join numbers. A description for each button signal is described in the SIMPL Windows help file (F1).
Crestron TPS-6 Isys™ 5.7” Tilt Touchpanel MultiByte International Characters Most languages use a single byte of eight bits to represent a character, e.g. English, French, German, Hebrew, Russian, Thai, etc. Multibyte character fonts require more than the usual eight bits to specify a character. This occurs when a language has more than 256 characters (28) in a font. For example, Chinese fonts contain several thousand characters. Other multibyte languages include Japanese and Korean.
Isys™ 5.7” Tilt Touchpanel Crestron TPS-6 Uploading and Upgrading Crestron recommends using the latest programming software and that each device contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most recently released features. However, before attempting to upload or upgrade it is necessary to establish communication. Once communication has been established, files (for example, programs, projects or firmware) can be transferred to the control system (and/or device).
Crestron TPS-6 Isys™ 5.7” Tilt Touchpanel 2. Confirm Ethernet connections between TPS-6 and PC. If connecting through a hub or router, use CAT5 straight through cables with 8-pin RJ-45 connectors. Alternatively, use a CAT5 crossover cable to connect the two LAN ports directly without using a hub or router. 3. Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry for the TPS-6 with the TPS-6’s TCP/IP communication parameters. 4. Display the “System Info” window (click the TPS-6 entry.

Isys™ 5.7” Tilt Touchpanel Crestron TPS-6 Strip and Tin Wire When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on the network connector and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder only to the ends of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle. Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining screw.
