HandyTechElektronikGmbHBraille WaveOperation of the Braille SystemPage 44The tone signal options are provided in the form of radio buttons. One of the four possiblesettings described below is always active. These signal tone settings apply only withinfirmware mode. In EPROM mode strictly for Braille display, or in configuration mode, allsignal tones are turned on.The various levels listed below apply only as of the Braille System's readiness tone. Anyerrors or warnings during startup are generally of a more serious nature, and will thereforealways be indicated.5.1.8.10.1 None (N)The Braille System generates no sound signals, not even during file transfers orreformatting.5.1.8.10.2 Errors (E)The Braille System generates a tone only if an error has occurred. In addition to internalerrors, errors could also result from operator mistakes, but these are usually not supportedby any message in Braille.5.1.8.10.3 Warnings (W)The Braille System generates a tone only in case of errors or warnings.5.1.8.10.4 action Confirmations (C)All signal sounds are turned on.5.1.8.11 Date/time format (D)Any settings specified here will affect the entire System, including the Editor. If you specifythe 12-hour format, the time will be displayed in the 12-hour format everywhere; otherwisethe 24-hour military time format will be used. Also, if English dates are specified, theinternational convention for date (day and month reversed from German) and time will beused.5.1.8.12 Input indication (I)By changing the search direction within a Braille table, it is possible to input languagespecific characters using the same Braille dot combination like normal alphanumericcharacters.For example in Arabic, dot combination 1,2,4, are used for a certain Arabic character. Thesame dot combination is also used for the letter “f”. Within the Arabic Braille table using256 characters, you find the Arabic letters above position 128. To enable to enter Arabiccharacters by using a specific dot combination, it is possible to change the direction.Braille table will be searched for the matching character instead of using the standardforward direction that means searching from position 0 to 256. Braille table can also besearched backwards from 256 to 0. In case of Arabic, when using the backwards searchdirection, the corresponding Arabic character can be found when entering a certain Brailledot combination. In order to change the search direction, there are the following two chordcommands: [chord 236] activates the backwards search direction which is indicated by a low-pitched tone.
