Hi All,

I would like to know if there is a way to generate a beep on my Persective session when there is an active unacknowledged alarm.

I guess "system.util.beep()" only works for the gateway.

Thanks in advance 😀

Maybe hide one of these somewhere?

Not aware of any pure scripting functions for audio.

While the Audio component is indeed the way to play sounds within Perspective Sessions, there is no need to "hide" it as it will not display by default.

Good to know. I've never actually used it before
