Crestron RACK2 2-Series Card Cage System
Compiling and Uploading a Program to the Control
System
After you have completed your SIMPL Windows program you must compile and
upload the program to the control system.
To compile the program, simply click the Convert/Compile button
on the
SIMPL Windows toolbar, or select Project | Convert/Compile (you can also press
F12). A status bar will indicate the progress of the compile operation. After the
operation is complete, a window will display information about the program such as
the number and type of signals, and memory usage.
The compiled program will be stored as an SPZ file in the same directory as the
source file. There are a number of ways to upload an SPZ file to the control system.
1. Immediately after compiling the program you have the option to transfer
the file to the control system.
2. Alternatively, click the Transfer button
on the SIMPL Windows
toolbar, or open Viewport and click File Transfer | Send Program.
3. Click Browse, locate the SPZ file and click Open. This will display the
program's header information and enable one or both of the What to Send
check boxes. If the program does not contain any SIMPL+ modules, only
the SIMPL Program check box will be enabled. If it does contain SIMPL+
modules, then the SIMPL+ program(s) check box will also be enabled.
Select one or both check boxes and then click Send Program to begin the
transfer.
NOTE: Unlike X-Generation processors, the 2-Series processor does not require a
permanent memory image. Also, the 2-Series adds the ability to automatically
retrieve the current program from the control system. Simply verify that the Retrieve
Current Program Before Overwriting check box is selected.
Choose where the program will be sent: Internal Flash or Compact Flash. (With
the Compact Flash option, if the Viewport does not detect a Compact Flash card, you
will be prompted to insert a card and retry the upload procedure.) The 2-Series
processor also provides the option to retrieve the current program from internal or
Compact Flash memory before overwriting it. Simply select the Retrieve Current
Program check box and specify the filename and directory.
The Retrieve Program command copies the current program from either internal or
Compact Flash to disk. If the Viewport detects a program in Compact Flash, the
following window will be displayed:
Retrieve Program Window
As shown above, click Yes to retrieve the program from Compact Flash, or No to
retrieve the program from internal memory. Click Cancel to cancel the operation.
