Alarm Sounds
The Datalog system has 40 different icons, the icons are assigned to map positions during installation,
and a different icon is used for each type of alarm sensor.
Initially all icons are assigned the standard alarm sound, Alarm.Wav.
It is possible to assign different alarm sounds to each icon type. This means a different sound may be
generated at a PIR sensor than at a door contact.
Datalog 3 provides a number of standard sounds. In addition, if the equipment is available, the system
user can generate sounds and assign them to the system.
The Alarm Sounds Selection form, accessed from User Setup, enables the operator to assign a sound
file to each icon type.
