BEEP(FREQ, PERIOD)
CRIMSON USER MANUAL - MODULAR CONTROLLER
BEEP(FREQ, PERIOD)
ARGUMENT TYPE DESCRIPTION
freq int The required frequency in semitones.
period int The required period in milliseconds.
DESCRIPTION
Sounds the terminal’s beeper for the indicated period at the indicated pitch. Passing a value of
zero for period will turn off the beeper. Beep requests are not queued, so calling the function
will immediately override any previous calls. For those of you with a musical bent, the freq
argument is calibrated in semitones. On a more serious “note”, the Beep function can be a
useful debugging aid, as it provides an asynchronous method of signaling the handling of an
event, or the execution of a program step.
FUNCTION TYPE
This function is active.
RETURN TYPE
This function does not return a value.
EXAMPLE
Beep(60, 100)
