ditions. The audio message must be a Windows Wave (WAV) file, which can be created with
a sound card, microphone and the Windows Sound Recorder program located under Programs>
Accessories>Multimedia. The Wave file can be set to play when an I/O value is Equal (EQ), Not
Equal (NE), Less Than (LT), Less Than or Equal (LE), Greater Than (GT), or Greater Than
or Equal (GE). To use this feature, follow the steps below. Note that the components placed
