BEEPGenerates music or sound effects.
Description:
BEEP generates a frequency for a specified duration in seconds. On computers that do not provide control for variable frequency sound generation, BEEP generates a beep or bell sound. The range of the duration is 0 to 2.55 and is rounded to the nearest 0.01 seconds, subject to the timing resolution of your computer system. The value 2.55 is used for any duration greater than 2.55. If no frequency or duration is specified, a 1220.7 Hz beep is generated for 0.2 seconds.
Usage Notes
The period (not the frequency) is rounded to a multiple of 0.838 micro-seconds. The range of frequencies is 40.7 Hz to 32.767 KHz. (HP BASIC rounds the frequency value to a multiple of 81.38 Hz and supports a range of 81 Hz to 5.208 KHz.)
