The file PARAM.DAT contains various settings, one of which configures this feature.

1. Shut down the Supervisor.
2. In the application project’s C folder, open the file PARAM.DAT in a text editor.
3. Find the section that refers to COLORWDWALARM.
4. Each row refers to a priority level, from 0 to 29.The 23rd item is B40, the Supplementary Flag. Set it to 1 for each row (priority) where a beep is required.

When the Supervisor is running, the PC will emit a beep whenever an alarm at a configured priority level is turned On.

For this to work directly, the PC has to have an internal speaker (NOT a sound card).

The beep is usually quiet and not suitable for a noisy environment.

Example

In the first three lines of the COLORWDWALARM section below, the beep sound is configured for priority 0 but not for levels 1 or 2.
