Creating Media
Manually Creating Media That Plays a Media File
1.In the Folders window, select the folder where the new media is to be placed.
2.If you want to play back audio signals stored in data sets, then mark these data sets now. If you select several data sets, their audio signals will be mixed.
3.If you want to embed the new media into a worksheet or document at this time, click on the open worksheet or document window. Otherwise, click in the Object List.
4.Click Insert[Other] > Media.
5.In the dialog box that now appears, enter the path name of the media file on the Source tab.
Note: The media file is not copied to the object, but has to be found under the specified path name each time it is played. Therefore, you should either save your media files in a folder of your choosing or copy them to the same folder in which your FlexPro project database resides. If you choose the second method, you should only enter the file name and not the full path name in the Media object so that the link remains when you copy your project.
Manually Creating Media That Plays One or More Data Sets as an Audio Signal
1.In the Folders window, select the folder where the new media is to be placed.
2.Select one or more data sets that contain audio signals. If you select several data sets, their audio signals will be mixed.
3.If you want to embed the new media into a worksheet or document at this time, click on the open worksheet or document window. Otherwise, click in the Object List.
4.Click Insert[Other] > Media.
Note: The data set must either contain one signal or a signal series with two columns. A signal series is played back as a stereo signal. If you select multiple data sets, they should be the same length.
