Buzzer

The buzzer can be configured to emit different sounds. Output signals can be mapped to each of the signals and provides an audio interface to the operator.

The buzzer is configured by assigning a sound to a signal selected from a list of available signals. A signal with a sound can be prioritized between 1 and 10 where 1 is highest priority and 10 the lowest. By default a signal and sound has the priority 5.

Up to 20 different signals can be mapped to a sound and each sound can have its own characteristic profile, with parameters described in the table below. For two simultaneous signals, the signal with the highest priority overrides the other signal.

A buzzer signal runs until termination and is not interrupted by a higher prioritized signal.
