There are two additional, optional sounds that may be played in Quiz mode. The
AwaitAnswerSound=xx parameter, if xx is non-zero, causes sound file xx.WAV to be played after the
question sound while awaiting an Answer contact activation. In the preceding example, this would play
sound file 7F.WAV. The duration of this optional sound or the NoAnswerTimeout=dd seconds parameter,
whichever is greater, determines the interval before the associated no answer timeout sound file is played.
The AwaitAnswerSound should not be marked as non-interruptable.
The AnswerWithoutQuestionSound=xx parameter if xx is non-zero causes sound file xx.WAV to be
played if an Answer contact is activated before a Question contact to prompt user to select question first. In
the preceding example, this would play sound file 7EC.WAV when any Answer contact is activated before
a Question contact.
A Kiosk mode of operation may be obtained by setting the NoAnswerTimeout=dd parameter to zero.
This effectively disables the AwaitAnswerSound and all of the No Answer Timeout sounds simply
allowing the Question contact to select different sets of Answer contacts sounds such as various languages
or features. After a Question contact is activated, it remains active selecting a given set of Answer contact
sounds until another Question contact is activated.
Contact outputs may also be activated for Question and Answer sounds by using the S token in the
filename. In Quiz mode, Question contact outputs remain active for the duration of the Question/Answer
cycle. In Kiosk mode, the last Question (answer selection) contact output remains active until another
Question input is activated. Note that the Answer contact outputs associated with the Answer contact
inputs are used for each set of answers, independent of which Question contact is activated. Unique
Answer contact outputs may be achieved by constructing a matrix using the Question contact outputs as
Rows and the repeating Answer contact outputs as Columns (or vice versa). This is shown in the following
diagram:

The BackgroundDelay=ddddd parameter can be used in conjunction with one or more background
sounds to provide a delay between sounds, so that they can be used as an attention getting attract mode.
