Static versus Dynamic Filenames

The speech device can operate in either dynamic or static filename mode.  Whenever in static template filename mode, the template filename is chosen during configuration. When using the dynamic filename mode, the filename is assigned using V+ ports. The following table lists the differences between the static and dynamic modes.

 

in the static template filename mode...

in the dynamic template filename mode...

When naming templates...

the template filename can have an unlimited number of characters.

the template filename must have eight or fewer characters.

When changing templates...

the program must be stopped and the new template assigned through the Run-time System configuration menu.

the dynamic filename port input values are changed, during run-time, to reflect the new template filename. You do not have to stop the program!

When selecting ports...

the "filename char" ports are not used.

the 8 "filename char" ports are used. These eight ports make up the text template filename that is spoken by the device. See Using Dynamic Filename Ports for more information.
