Sound Wave at end of program


Recommended Posts

Find a sound you like, i would suggest not using voices or music unless your environment is very quiet. I use a train whistle because it cuts thru the ambient droning noise we have here at the shop.
I attached the wav file i use below in a zip file.

Open zip and put the file in a location on your computer or network.

toot2_x.zip

Open this zip and extract the bat file inside
Right click on the file and hit EDIT, then when it opens change the file path between the ""s to the location you put your wav.
Save and close.
copy the bat file to the inspection folder of the program you want, or copy it to every program folder if you want.

Calypso will do the rest, as long as the bat file is in the folder at the end of the run it'll execute itself.

We lost our sound at the end of programs when we updated to 7.0. I have a .wav that I created a path and renamed inspection_end.bat. When I put it in one program it works perfect. When I try to put it in C:user\public\publicdocument\zeiss\calypso\workarea\inspections it does not play for any of the programs. Where am I suppose to put it for it to work on all programs?
It doesn't have to be in the inspections folder, it has to be in wherever your default path is set in your environment settings. If you're using a custom path, that's where you have to place the .bat file.

For example, this is our path

C:\data\cmm\programs\inspections\Production Parts

So I have my inspection_start and inspection_end files saved there.

maybe that's all that's wrong with yours now.
Ok any ideals on why my sound is not being picked up by the programs? I have the sound in media player and have copied into c:\user\public\publicdocuments\zeiss\calypso\workarea\inspection then changed the name from .wav to .bat. If I put it in one program it works but then putting it in the file path above it does not work. What have I missed?
Well, you screw it up. You can not change extension of file. You have to make a BAT file ( which is just text file ) and write into it command to run a player with sound file. Something like "SOUNDFILE.EXT" ( where SOUNDFILE is your file and EXT is it's extension ).

Same command which is used in windows CMD console.
