ShortTone

Syntax:

    ShortTone Frequency, Duration

Command Availability:

Available on all microcontrollers.

Explanation:

This command will produce the specified tone for the specified duration. Frequency is measured in units of 10 Hz, and Duration is in 1 ms units. Please note that this command may not produce the exact frequency specified. While it is accurate enough for error beeps and small pieces of monophonic music, it should not be used for anything that requires a highly precise frequency.

Example:

    'Sample program to produce a tone on PORTB bit 1, based on the
    'reading of an LDR on AN0 (usually PORTA bit 0).

    #chip 16F88, 20
    #define SoundOut PORTB.1

    Dir PORTA.0 In

    Do
        ShortTone ReadAD(AN0), 100
    Loop
