[. . . ] Digital, analog and serial join numbers are a common thread between VT Pro-e and SIMPL Windows. These numbers define how the objects on a touchpanel page of a VT Pro-e project interface to the outside world, specifically the Cresnet system as defined in the SIMPL Windows program. There are digital join numbers that carry out some predetermined function (a logical high or low); analog join numbers for displaying incremental values, sliders, gauges and bar graphs; and serial join numbers that allow for the display of variable text and transmission/reception of serial commands from other manufacturers. Unjoined objects are not interfaced with the system and thus cannot initiate any logic functions (although they can perform page flips).
Earliest Version Software Requirements for the PC
NOTE: Crestron recommends that you use the latest software to take advantage of the most recently released features. The following are recommended software version requirements for the PC: · (Optional but highly recommended) SystemBuilder version 2. 0 or later (Requires SIMPL Windows, VT Pro-e, Crestron Database and Crestron Engraver).

Programming with Crestron System Builder
Crestron System Builder offers automatic programming for such residential and commercial applications as audio distribution, home theater, video conferencing, and lighting. The interface of this tool guides you through a few basic steps for designating rooms and specifying the control system, touchpanels, devices, and functionality. Crestron System Builder then programs the system, including all touchpanel projects and control system logic. Crestron System Builder 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. Crestron System Builder accesses these tools behind the scenes, enabling you to easily create robust systems.

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. SIMPL Windows offers drag and drop functionality in a familiar Windows® environment. This section describes a sample SIMPL Windows program that includes a TPS-12G-QM touchpanel. Join Number Remapping (JNR) is a programming concept that allows a TPS Series panel to use join numbers with values over 4000 (Join Numbers 4001 to 15999 and Reserved Join Numbers) by bringing them within the range of the TPS touchpanel symbol, thereby increasing a touchpanel's functionality. Through JNR, a TPS Series panel's internal functions become accessible to a control system and can activate the local functions of other touchpanels, route its internal feedback back to the control system, and receive feedback from remote locations. JNR provides the additional capability of managing IP IDs in Ethernet applications where a touchpanel communicates with multiple control systems that have been uploaded with the same program. Refer to the latest version of the 2-Series Control System Reference Guide (Doc. [. . . ] Enclose a note specifying the nature of the problem, name and phone number of contact person, RMA number, and return address.
