Using TONE oregon 700

Hi All,

I've developped an App for my Oregon 700 that display a message in a simple data field to remind to Drink every 10mn and eat/drink every 50mn and play a tone at each message. That's work well, but know I would like to play different tone for Drink and Eat/Drink. I've specified two different tone value (TONE_ALERT_HI and TONE_ALERT_LO) but when running the app on my Oregon 700, the tone is always the same whatever the message is. I've noticed that the tone played was the one selected in the Oregon system menu for "Tone message"

Any Idea ?

That's the oregon (and rino I bet). There are a few tones that are different than the settings though. Attached is an app. Side load it to the Oregon and run it. It cycles through all the tones, and displays the number corresponding to the TONE_* defines in the doc. find two that sound unique enough is my suggestion. (there are about 4 if I recall)

Tones is a useful little app that I first wrote when I was doing some early apps on edge devices a few years back, as at that time, what you heard in the sim might not quite sound the same on a real device, and have used it since to see how things sound on other actual devices. The most recent case is with the fr245m and fr945, watch tones can be played through the bluetooth headphones. Just something for a developer tool bag!
