Performing Playback
To perform a playback, select I/O | Play on the NIDisk menu. NIDisk displays the Playback
parameter screen, which allows the user to configure the playback. NIDisk then displays the
Playback summary screen, which summarizes playback parameters and allows the user to
initiate the playback.
Playback Parameter Screen
The Playback parameters screen allows the user to specify the file to be played, triggering
mode and optional alarm sounds. Other parameters such as duration, sample rate and number
of channels are predetermined by the sound file. The playback file may be a 1- or 2-channel
SIGNAL or Wave file. Wave files must be stored in uncompressed 16-bit coding (0 offset,
±32768 range), which is the "PCM" or "type 1" standard
Wave file format.
Filename specifies the name of the file to be played, including file extension (e.g., myfile.1
or myfile.wav). If the filename does not include a full path (drive letter and directory), files
are played from the directory containing NIDisk. Embedded spaces are allowed in the
filename.
NIDisk accepts SIGNAL integer-format files and Wave files, but not SIGNAL floating-point
format files. SIGNAL files are strongly recommended.
