If the PC is sounding a tone for an input condition, and another input condition
occurs that causes a new tone to be output, then the current tone being played is
canceled and the new tone is output for its specified duration.
NOTE: If the PC is sounding a tone, pressing the E key will also cancel the tone.
9.8 Audio Output
The audio output field allows you to specify an audio sequence to be played
when the status message text is displayed. Unlike the tone control mentioned
previously, the audio output allows multiple tones to be output. As with the tone
output, an audio output that is currently playing on the PC’s speaker can be
canceled by pressing the
E key.
The audio output field is used to specify the number of the audio string to be
played. Up to nine audio strings can be defined. The audio strings are found
under the <AUDIO> header in the MCNRCD.CFG file (see Figure 32). The first
line under the <AUDIO> header is audio string number 1. Any blank lines or
comment lines are not counted as audio strings. If the audio output field is set to
0, no audio string is played when the status text message is displayed.
If both the audio output field and the tone frequency field are programmed on the
same text definition line, the MCNRCD software will perform the tone frequency
output and ignore the audio output field.
