Beeper Control
The beep duration and frequency, and the scan beep duration and
frequency may be set using extended commands. These commands
allow setting the duration of the beeps in milliseconds. The duration on
the Falcon has a granularity of 55 ms because of its PC-based
architecture. This means that any duration is rounded up to the next
multiple of 55 ms. For example, setting a duration of 60 ms actually
causes the beeper to sound for 110 ms.
The frequency is set in hertz. If the frequency is set to zero, the terminal
uses the optimum frequency for the Falcon’s speaker. To control the
beeps, the following escape sequence can be used:
<esc>[!6;1;<Alarm_Dur>;<Alarm_Freq>;<Scan_Dur>
;<Scan_Freq>z
The default settings for the beep are a duration of 150 ms with a
frequency setting of
zero (0) while the scan beep defaults to a duration
of 300 ms with a frequency setting of
zero (0). The following example
illustrates setting the default values:
<ESC>[!6;1;150;0;300;0z
(HEX equivalent: 1B 5B 21 36 3B 31 3B 31 35 30
3B 30 3B 33 30 30 3B 30 7A)
If desired, the default settings can be changed. For example, to set a beep
of 110 ms at 500 Hz and a scan beep of 220 ms at 1000 Hz, the
following sequence is used:
<ESC>[!6;1;110;500;220;1000z
(HEX equivalent: 1B 5B 21 36 3B 31 3B 31 31 30
3B 35 30 30 3B 32 32 30 3B 31 30 30 30 7A)
