Wonderware Audible problem with HMI

Just a quick question. As I add Sound(s) to our Wonderware HMI's, I notice when an audible has sounded, the operator cannot "click" any buttons until the sound has stopped. Obviously, the more sounds that are happening at the same time just makes it worse. This has been a problem for years where I work and i'm guessing that is the reason for the few that we have. Thanks

Are you using the "PlaySound()" function? If so, are you setting the flag after it? Try using as this does not stop the scripting engine while the sound plays.


See this technote

You betcha, Except I have the flag set to 0

I'd bet money setting it to 1 fixes your problem!



IMO it should be the default, I don't see any reason why it should be synchronous.

Right on chum, i'll give er a go. Cheers!
