• The ID code specified in the SIMPL Windows program must match the IP
ID of each unit.
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
Touchpanel screens should be created in VisionTools Pro-e (VT Pro-e) to allow
accessing the embedded applications, switching of source signals to desired outputs
as well as selection of the system mode. There are no special programming
requirements to use the functions of the TPMC-8T in a room-control system.
Multi-Mode Objects
Multi-mode objects offer high-
performance programming!
The single most advanced VT Pro-e high performance programming technique
involving the TPMC-8T is the concept of multi-mode objects. A multi-mode object
(i.e. button, legend, etc.) is an object drawn on a VT Pro-e page that can have one or
more active and inactive visible settings (modes).
For examples, refer to
and search for multi-
mode object examples. This file contains the VT Pro-e touchpanel files and SIMPL
Windows files that illustrate the high-performance capabilities of multi-mode
objects.
WAV File Audio Messages
The TPMC-8T touchpanels are capable of playing audio messages as system
prompts and responses. These files are recorded as WAV files on a PC using an
audio utility such as Sound Recorder that is packaged with Microsoft Windows
95/98/Me/XP/NT/2000/Vista™. Files from other sources may also be converted to
an acceptable format by using this or a similar utility. Many other audio utilities are
available commercially or as shareware. The TPMC-8T touchpanels accept the
following WAV file formats: PCM, 8 & 16 bit, 8 – 44.1 kHz, mono & stereo. For
