How to Create and Update Audio Files in the AGPS
The Advisor Guide APS comes fully programmed with audio files from the factory. Campbell
Company generates custom messages for the intersection from information on the intersection
worksheet submitted to at the time of order placement. An electronic copy of the audible files is
available to the customer at time of delivery and should be kept for future use. In addition, a full
audio library is available at Campbell Company should your requirements change or by request
of pedestrians. Campbell Company provides English and Spanish messages, male or female
voices, and an array of tones for your required specification.
Campbell Company uses a .wav file format for its audio messaging and recommends this format
if you decide to create your own. The utility will accept any recording sample of bit rate, however
for optimal recording performance contact Campbell Company’s technical support for tips and
on best known methods for optimal recording.
Note: The summation of all audio files used cannot exceed 27sec. This will result in an error
while downloading audio files into the utility (except when in countdown mode)
Free audio and recording programs (Audacity is an example) are available on the web. A studio
quality microphone and an area that is isolated from external noise is beneficial to record quality
messages. Audio files are easily transferred from the utility with a click of a button.
To change an audio file, go to the Audio File tab in the utility (See Figure 4) – here you have the
ability to change the following files:
1. Locator
2. Acknowledgement
3. Location
4. Walk
5. Destination Beacon
The audio files must be available on the computer. To select an audio file, simply click the open
button next to the desired audio file and select. When changing single or multiple audio files, a
complete template must be selected (locator, acknowledgement, location, and walk) and saved
as a file. This will allow for use on multiple stations without having to create a new template for
each station (Once you have completed this for the remaining files, save it to your computer
then upload it to the Base Station.)
A Tone Generator function is available for building customized tones. At the top of the utility
select =>Other, Make Tone File. Here you have the option to choose the frequency and
duration.
You can easily upload the original files if you need to restore the factory default audio
messages. Campbell Company also keeps a copy of the original audio files for record.
