Program Manager
Program Manager is the view where programmers “program” a Crestron control
system by assigning signals to symbols.
Signals that are part of the MPS-250’s out-of-the-box functionality are locked and
cannot be modified or deleted. Locked signals are grayed out in the MPS-250’s
SIMPL Windows symbols. To prevent corruption of the out-of-the-box functionality,
locked signal names should not be copied or driven to other destinations in the
SIMPL Windows program.
NOTE:
If using SIMPL Windows version 2.08.19 or later, signals that are part of
the out-of-the-box functionality may be hidden from view. To view hidden signals in
a program containing out-of-the-box functionality, select
Display Out Of The Box
Functionality (OOTBF) Programming
in the “SIMPL Windows Preferences”
window (
Options | Preferences…
).
The symbol can be viewed by double clicking on the icon or dragging it into
Detail
View
. Each signal in the symbol is described in the SIMPL Windows help file (
F1
).

or cycle power.
Saving Settings
Settings such as tone/volume levels (out-of-the-box and custom programs) and
input/output names (out-of-the-box programs) are stored in an xml and text file that
can be recalled should an MPS-250 program need to be updated.
To save settings for later use, use the Crestron Toolbox File Manager utility to
retrieve the
