040: Send a Tone
This command causes a tone to be sent out the ports specified by the routing variable (see Appendix
A for information about the routing variable). The tone is generated for the specified duration and
followed by the specified pause. A typical courtesy beep might be generated by calling this
command several times in a row from a macro, sending a different frequency each time (see the
examples on the following pages).
Tones less then 10 <040> ttt ppp ffff
seconds long
Tones 10 to 60 <040> tttt pppp ffff
seconds long
Parameters:
- TTT or TTTT is a number representing the length of the tone in 10mS increments. If you use
four digits for the length of the tone, you must also use four digits for the length of the
pause. The tone length is limited to 60 seconds (6000).
- PPP or PPPP is a number representing the length of the pause to follow the tone in 10mS
increments. If you use four digits for the length of the tone, you must also use four digits
for the length of the pause. The pause length is limited to 60 seconds (6000).
- FFFF is the frequency of the tone in Hertz (cycles per second). All four digits must be entered.
