Recording Sound
It is possible to record sound in Progress PC, which is heard when scanning
between different buttons and when a button is activated. For example, if the
function of a button is to light a lamp, Progress PC can be made to say “Lamp”.
A maximum of 10 seconds can be recorded for each button. A microphone must
be connected to the microphone input on the computer in order to record sound.
Also check the sound settings on the computer. Recording starts directly once
you press on “Start recording” and it ends when you press ”Stop”. You can
listen to the recorded sound when the recording is finished, and re-record the
sound if you are not satisfied. If nothing can be heard, check that the sound is
not switched off – see the section
Sound Volume on page 13.
Record sound by the following procedure:
Settings  Pages/buttons  Select page  Select the page on which the recorded
sound is to be placed  Choose this page  Edit button  Select the button on
which the recorded sound is to be placed  Function  Sound  Start recording 

The Alarm Function
Progress PC is designed to make it possible to control an alarm via a relay
output but Progress Star or Progress Micro does not have any support for this
function. It is, however, possible to make Progress Star or Progress Micro send
an IR channel instead. The alarm function can be controlled in two different
ways: via an external control switch or by using the mouse.
Warning! When using the alarm one should be aware of the danger that
might occur, e.g. batteries in portable computers runs out, the
attachment plug is removed unintentionally, the batteries of the alarm
transmitter run out, difficulties for the user to reach the control switch
a.s.o. The user should be informed about the risks. Never use the
alarm function if it involves danger for a person if the alarm does not
work.
