Audio File Settings
The Audio File panel is used to upload or playback a single audio file. First of all select the Audio File Partition
and Msg Index of the audio file you are uploading. Then select the file that you wish to playback and/or
upload to the iRIS logger.
Either type a file name(with full path, e.g. c:\sound files\intro.wav) or click the browse button […] and select
the required file.
Note: The default path for the sound files is the Sounds folder under the iLink2 folder:-
C:\Program Data\iQuest\iLink2\Sounds
When you specify a file, iLink will verify that the audio file is small enough to fit in the Partition/Index
combination that you have selected. If it is incompatible, an error message will be displayed giving details of
the error.
Once you have selected a file, the waveform of the audio file is displayed graphically in the panel at the
bottom of the screen. This is the case even if the file has been checked and found to be incompatible. This
graphical display is also useful for determining the relative level (volume) of the file. For best results, the
peaks of the sound waveform should just approach the top and bottom of the graph without clipping.
To playback the file click on the [Play] button (you will need to ensure you have speakers connected to your
PC for this function, and that the volume control is adjusted to a suitable level).
To upload the file to the logger, click on the [Send] button.
Note
this button will only be available if an iRIS
logger is currently connected - the button will be 'greyed out' if you are working in offline mode.
A message will be displayed when the file upload is complete.
Audio Script Settings
The Audio Script panel is used to validate and upload audio scripts. An audio script is a list of audio files
together with an associated partition and message index number.
In practice it is useful to create a 'standard' script file that lists the locations and audio files for the digits, and
then create a series of 'site specific' scripts that contain the locations and wave file for the sensors, units and
site name etc.
Each row contains three settings:
The partition number
The message index
The name of the sound file
Note:
The sound file name does not have the
.wav
extension included, to simplify the script.
The first line in the DefaultSoundScript file shown here indicates that a file named zero.wav should be loaded
into partition 0, message index 1.
0,1,zero
0,2,one
0,3,two
