These two modes of operation are detailed in the following sections. Any errors encountered while
scanning the CF card produce error code flashes on the Red LED. See the Diagnostic LED Codes section
below for more information about LED error codes.
CFSound Mode
In CFSound Mode, the operation of the CFSound-III is controlled by the names of the sound files on the
CF card. Sounds are associated with contacts by the leading numeric portion of the filename, and the
controlling state of the contact is specified by additional trailing non-numeric character attributes. Sounds
may be played when a contact closes, opens, or only while a contact is closed or open. Sounds may be flagged
as non-interruptible, or to only play when no other contact controlled sounds are playing. In addition, a small
configuration text file may be placed onto the CF card along with the sound files to further control how the
unit plays sounds (see the CFSOUND.INI section below).
Filename Formats
The filenames of the individual Sound files on the Compact FLASH Card control how and when the
sounds are played out by the
Compact FLASH III Digital Audio System
. The filename must follow the
DOS 8.3 naming convention – up to 8 characters of name with up to 3 characters of extension.
The filenames must start with the optional input number they are associated with expressed as a
two digit HEX number.
