Crestron DIN-AP2

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 D3 Pro

Crestron’s D3 Pro lighting software provides all the tools necessary to
create a complete Crestron lighting system for residential applications.
The lighting system includes the control system logic program,
touchpanel projects and keypad programming, documentation and real-
time lighting adjustment capabilities.

As with all Crestron software, D3 Pro provides extensive right-click and
drag-and-drop functionality in addition to convenient keyboard shortcuts
for frequently used functions and commands.

Programming is organized into six system Views of the lighting system,
each providing a moveable toolbox of devices such as interfaces, fixtures
and control modules. You can add a device to your system simply by
selecting it from one of the toolboxes and dragging it to a room. The
available toolboxes differ depending on the View but all Views include a
"General" toolbox that allows you to add areas and rooms at any time.

Programming with SIMPL Windows

NOTE: While SIMPL Windows can be used to program the DIN-AP2,
it is recommended to use Crestron SystemBuilder or D3 Pro 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.

• To incorporate the DIN-AP2 into the system, drag the DIN-AP2

from the Control Systems folder of the Device Library and drop it
in the System Views.
