Alarm Sounds
NIDisk can produce alarm sounds to alert the user to certain acquisition or playback
conditions. These sounds are played through the system sound card, independent of the
NIDisk I/O board. Alaram sounds are stored as Wave files in the NIDisk directory (see
"Acquisition and Playback" for the filenames). Users can customize any sound by
substituting another Wave file of the same name.
I/O Reset
The menu selection I/O | Reset performs a local reset, in case NIDisk malfunctions or stops
responding. It clears NIDisk status variables and status files, and resets the I/O board driver.
If I/O | Reset doesn't solve the problem, follow the troubleshooting steps in "I/O Board Not
Recognized or Not Responding".

10. Command Line Mode
NIDisk can be executed directly from the DOS command line, by including all necessary
parameters with the NIDisk command. NIDisk will bypass the parameter setup screen and
summary screen and begin the I/O process immediately. Only the "Acquiring data" or
"Playing data" screen will be displayed. Command line mode can be used for convenience
