NOTE: The following are acceptable file extensions for programs that include a
C2N-DAP8RC, developed for specific control system types:
.smw
projectname.smw (source file)
.spz projectname.spz (compiled file for 2-series)
.umc
projectname.umc (SIMPL Windows user macro)
.ush projectname.ush (compiled for SIMPL+)
.usp projectname.usp (source code module for SIMPL+)
.daf projectname.daf (DAT program output)
SIMPL (Symbol Intensive Master Programming Language) is an easy-to-use
programming language that is completely integrated and compatible with all
Crestron system hardware. The objects that are used in SIMPL are called symbols.
SIMPL Windows offers drag and drop functionality in a familiar Windows

environment.
SIMPL Windows is Crestron's software for programming Crestron control systems.
It provides a well-designed graphical environment with a number of workspaces
(i.e., windows) in which a programmer can select, configure, program, test, and
monitor a Crestron control system.
NOTE: The following assumes that the reader has knowledge of SIMPL Windows.
If not, refer to the extensive help information provided with the software.
NOTE: In the following description, the PRO2 control system is used.
This section describes a sample SIMPL Windows program that includes a C2N-
DAP8RC.
Configuration Manager is where programmers “build” a Crestron control system by
selecting hardware from the Device Library. In Configuration Manager, drag the
PRO2 from the Control Systems folder of the Device Library and drop it in the upper
pane of the System Views. The PRO2 with its associated communication ports is
displayed in the System Views upper pane.
