Crestron CNXFZ Focus/Zoom Control Interface
Windows program. The NET ID of each CNXFZ has been factory set to 40, but may
be changed from the PC via VT Pro or SIMPL Windows.
The method for changing the unit’s NET ID is identical regardless of the software
chosen. Attach the CNXFZ to the control system (verify that the software is running)
and complete the following steps to change the NET ID.
1. Disconnect all network devices from the control system, except for the
one CNXFZ that needs to have its NET ID changed.
2. Select Tools | ViewPort to open the “Crestron Performance Viewport”
dialog box.
3. Select Functions | Set Network ID. The software checks the baud rate
and then opens the “Set Network ID” dialog box.
4. Notice the list of current network devices in the dialog box. Highlight
the CNXFZ.
5. The NET ID of the CNXFZ (default is 40) appears in the box below the
list. Use the scroll arrow to assign another NET ID.
6. When the newly assigned NET ID appears, select the Set ID button to
initiate the change.
7. The software responds with a successful message to confirm the new
NET ID.
8. To verify this procedure, select Diagnostics | Report Network
Devices. Confirm that the CNXFZ has a new NET ID code.
9. Reconnect other network devices that were disconnected in step 1.
SIMPL™ Windows Programming
NOTE: VisionTools Pro (VT Pro) is a Windows compatible software package for
creating Crestron touchpanel screen designs.
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 Electronics' 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.
The next two subsections describe a sample SIMPL Windows program that utilizes
the CNXFZ. The first subsection details how the sample program works with a
textual description and block diagram. The second subsection provides a broad
description of how to actually create the SIMPL Windows program. A third
subsection, “Application for an Alternate Method of Control” on page 15, is
provided to offer an alternate method of control. An example program is referenced,
but details for creating it are not furnished.
NOTE: The following description assumes that the reader has knowledge of SIMPL
Windows. If not, please refer to the extensive help information provided with the
software.
