The “Enable Sound Effects” check box should be checked to allow the The DDE Server will play
up to 10 sounds in the form of wav files. For example a particular wav file may play when a

of the scale capacity is reached.
Number tab
Use the “Number” tab to specify the sound to edit from “1” through “10”. The prompts which
follow will indicate the settings for the specified sound.
Trigger Weight
Specify the weight value for the sound to play. The trigger weights should be in order, so that
sound 1 is a lighter trigger weight, than sound 2.
Mode
The mode for each sound may be specified as “Stable Wt. Above Trigger”, “Weighing Up”, or
“Weighing Down”. Sounds specified as “Stable Wt. Above Trigger” will play only when the
weight is stable and above the trigger weight. If more than one sound fits the condition when the
weight stabilizes only sound with the highest trigger value is played. Sounds configured for
“Weighing Up” or “Weighing Down” will play when the weight passes the trigger weight either
weighing up or weighing down, as appropriate.

browse to a WAV file. In Microsoft Windows XP for the list of sounds shown below navigate to
