If you want to hear the wav every tick just set the indicator to update
every tick and use something like the following 2 lines only:
Condition1= playsound("C:\omega\start.wav");
Plot1(c," ");
You should watch your cpu utilization (in win2000 use task manager).
Continuously playing a wav file can max out your cpu - probably the cause of
your crashing.
If the problem is caused by running out of cpu, even with just the 2 lines
above, you could perhaps try playing the wav file every other tick or every
third tick with something line the following:
This would need to be on a 1 tick chart. Anything else would require a
global variable type dll in the code.
Inputs: PlayFreq(2); {keep increasing this number till you find something
your cpu can live with}
if mod(barnumber,PlayFreq)=0 then begin
Condition1= playsound("C:\omega\start.wav");
Plot1(c," ");
end;
