SOUND
Purpose Statement for making the printer’s beeper produce a sound specified in
regard of frequency and duration.
Syntax SOUND,
is the frequency of the sound in Hz.
is the duration of the sound in periods of 0.020 sec. each (max.
15,0000 = 5 minutes).
Remarks This statement allows you include significant sound signals in your programs,
for example to notify the operator that various errors have occurred.
A sound with approximately the specified frequency will be produced for
the specified duration. If the program encounters a new SOUND statement,
it will not be executed until the previous sound has been on for the
specified duration. No sound will come from the EasyCoder PD41, yet a
time delay equal to the duration specified will occur.
The SOUND statement even allows you to make melodies, although the
musical quality may be somewhat limited. The following table illustrates
the frequencies corresponding to the notes in the musical scale. To create a
period of silence, set the frequency to value higher than 9,999 Hz.
