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 latest software is available from the Crestron
website.

Crestron has developed an assortment of Windows

-based software tools to develop

a Cresnet system. The following are the minimum recommended software versions
for the PC:

Software

TASK

REQUIRED SOFTWARE VERSION

Program control system to
operate AV2 & PRO2.

SIMPL Windows version 2.02.08 or later
with SIMPL+ Cross Compiler version 1.1 or
later and Library update 145 or later; Also
requires Crestron Database version 15.6.2
or later.

Upload program and firmware.

Crestron Toolbox 1.01.06 or later.

Program with simple wizards
(optional but recommended).

Crestron SystemBuilder™ version 2.0.6 or
later. Refer to software release notes or
Crestron website for other required
Crestron software packages.

Programming with Crestron SystemBuilder

Crestron SystemBuilder is the easiest method of programming, but does not offer as
much flexibility as SIMPL Windows. For additional details, download
SystemBuilder from the Crestron website and examine the extensive help file.

Programming with SIMPL Windows

NOTE: While SIMPL Windows can be used to program the AV2 & PRO2, 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.
