Re: Simpl Windows programming question
Yes, there are a couple of ways to do this. If the string is just the number you could use an SIO.

Re: VTPro crashes and I can't delete the associated .vtz file
This sometimes happens to me with SIMPL programs but the fix is the same.
Open task manager / Processes / vtpro32.exe Select that, then press end process at bottom of screen. This will release the file locks on the folder and output file for your project.

Re: DMPS-300-C
a) The original (few) firmware revs for the DMPS didn't automatically set the IP table, but mercifully that was fixed fairly early on so as long as you're running current firmware you should be fine.

b) In the configuration where a DM-TX and DM-RMC are talking to each other directly via DM8G one end (and ONLY one end) needs to be connected to the LAN to be able to utilize sync detection/input selection of the DM-TX and control of the RMC (IR, Serial, picture, etc). In this scenario though you will have to manually configure the IP table(s) and if there's not a DHCP server on the LAN also manually configure IP addresses, which is slightly painful but not too difficult.

Re: Really odd cp3 behavior w/debugger
When you open the second window using the same IP address, both windows become connected to the same slot, but your first window still has the other .sig file open. What you are seeing is what happens when you try to debug a program with the wrong .sig file.

Re: Helpful hints to not get flamed
I understand that finding IR codes can certainly be difficult at times. I've used MakeHex a few times to actually make the hex codes for IR devices, but that was definitely not easy and not something for newbies to try.

Had a friend of mine tell me, he used a Logitech Harmony remote (one of the cheaper ones) and programmed it for any device which was difficult to find. Then he used the Crestron IR learner to learn the IR codes he needed. He said he found discrete codes for devices he didn't even know had discrete codes and so far hasn't been stumped on any device. Haven't tried this myself yet, but certainly a handy way to get IR codes for those hard to find devices!

Re: Apple TV control
Marc Nield
Nathan let me try a version of this module a while back. It works well, but has limitations with respect to the way the data is presented. For example, there isn't an option to omit artists who only appear on compilations (i.e. under "Artists" you get all the no names who appear on some "Housework Songs" album your lovely sig. other purchased in Walmart one day�.) and when you select a playlist you only see song titles not artist or album names.

Re: DMPS-300-C
Correct; like any DM product that's why a DM-RMC-SCALER-C should be used on DM outputs feeding displays, and an HD-SCALER should be used on HDMI outputs feeding displays or VTC Codecs

Re: Cisco C40 via SSH

The module I'm using is Tandberg C90 + C60 Serial v1.3. The CP3 processor is only running one project with one C40.

I will have to schedule a site visit to look into the other items, C40 Firmware, Verbose mode and Authentication for serial. I am using this same Tandberg serial module in another room running a C20 without issues. Another noted difference is a DMPS-300 processor instead of the CP3. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 8:03:01 AM Subject: Re: [Crestron] crosspoint numbering schemes Based on someone's hint here and for ease in renaming: Where there are logic groups that require multiple ID changes after a copy/paste, I make the 5-digit IDs from a 2-digit "type", 2-digit "zone", 1-digit "function". For example, audio zones (rooms) have four different crosspoints in their logic. Room 10's crosspoints might be numbered 40102, 40105, 40106, 40109. When it comes time to copy/paste, I can then F9 "4010" to "4016" to represent room 16. In other places - source devices, single-crosspoint things, other things at the "end" of the chain - I just number them sequentially but in a separate number range (450nn). I chose odd ranges of numbers because it seems rather unlikely that I will have coded a 40106 or a 40xx2 in the logic, thus eliminating the possibility of unintentional renames. Using the 40xxn numbers requires a little more math. Switching rooms essentially requires me to take 46002 + (room * 10) to get the right ID.

Then the control symbol for DirecTV in room 1 would have an ID of 1001 (adding the equipment ID to the Room ID). In room 2 the control crosspoint symbol for DirecTV box 1 would be numbered 2001.[Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Check out the Files area for useful modules, documents, and drivers.

One other thing I do is include the ID "base" in the sub-folder or module's
