[arm-allstar] Sending tones and Documentation

[Doug Crompton]

Kip,

  The command to send tone command is   !tone/duration in ms.  So to send a
1000 Hz tone for 2 seconds with a 1 second beginning delay is :

cop 48,!0/1000,1000/2000

Tones can be added with +  -  !tone+tone/duration

DTMF cannot have duration when using the characters, so  1/2000 or A/2000
is not legal. In that case you would have to specify the actual tones to
create the DTMF.  So just for example if the tones were 1000 and 1500 you
could do something like this -

cop 48,!0/1000,!1000+1500/2000

This would play the 1000 and 1500 tones for 2 seconds with a 1 second lead
in delay. Obviously you would use the actual tones for the DTMF you want to
create.
