Quiz / Kiosk Mode 

 

The  CFSound-IV  may  be  configured  to  operate  in  a  Quiz  or  Kiosk  mode.  This  mode  is  enabled  by 

including the requisite 

[Quiz]

 section entries in a CFSOUND.INI file on the card with the 

QuizMode=TRUE

 

parameter.  

In Quiz mode, Question contacts trigger the Question sounds, then Answer contacts trigger the Answer 

sounds related to the question that was activated.  The Question contacts start at contact 1 and are contiguous 
through the number of 

QuestionContacts=dd

 parameter.  The Question sounds would be named 01C.WAV, 

02C.WAV, … , xxC.WAV where xx is the hexadecimal equivalent of the 

QuestionContacts=dd

 parameter.  

The Answer contacts immediately follow the Question contacts and are contiguous through the number 

of 

AnswerContacts=dd

 parameter. Each Answer contact is associated with an array of Answer sounds, with 

the  offset  into  the  array  controlled  by  the  Question  contact  that  was  activated.  There  is  also  an  additional 
timeout  Answer  sound  that  will  be  played  if  an  Answer  contact  is  not  activated  within  the 

NoAnswerTimeout=dd

 seconds interval.  

Due to the maximum number of sounds being limited to 255 the following limitation must be observed:

 

QuestionContacts x (AnswerCo 1) <= 254 

The next table shows a sample of Quiz mode sound file names and their contact associations given the 

following  values  for  the  [Quiz]  section  parameters: 

QuestionContacts=4,

 

AnswerContacts=4,  

AnswerWithoutQuestionSound=7E 

and

  AwaitAnswerSound=7F 

in  the  CFSOUND.INI  file.  Notice  how 

the Answer contacts play different sounds depending upon what Question contact was activated:

Note that while these sample files all have the ‘C’ contact closure token in the filename, the ‘O’ contact 

open token may be used as well. Sound files that are played without a direct contact closure do not require 
these tokens.
