Annoying Tone

Postby mike-stgt » Sat Mar 11, 2023 1:02 pm

In 82153A Wand Usr Mnl you find
After each scan the HP-41C normally responds by sounding a short scan tone. But if the ystem detects an error
condition during a scan, the HP-4IC responds instead with a prolonged scan error tone [...]

After a while this short scan tone gets pretty annoying using the Wand Virtual Paper Keyboard in NutEm/PC. Mute it is not an option me think, decreasing the volume works but not too long.
So I lowered the pitch and it sounds better, in addition the scan tone and scan error tone are now an octave apart. Fortunately the wand comes with its own tones and does not use the HP41 routines for it, what gave me the chance for this modification:
