<br />STORM Wateh can play .wav files to provide audible notification that an alarm or high priority NWS
<br />Message (MWW lnterfaee only) has been reeeived,
<br />
<br />For STORM Wateh Alarms, .wav files are played as part of notification, and are disabled if notification
<br />is turned off, Different sound files are available for 'A' (high) and 'B' (low) priority alarms,
<br />
<br />Once triggered, an Alarm .wav file will play repetitively for a fixed time period and then reset itself, if
<br />there is no user intervention, The time period is set separatey for the 'A' and 'B' alarms in the
<br />System Parameters dialog, in the Alarm Messages frame. If the play time is set to 0, the audible
<br />notification will be disabled without affeeting other aspeets of notification, For audible NWS Message
<br />notifications, the unattended run time for the sound is fixed at three minutes,
<br />
