Options Menu Items
The Options Menu lets you control Audio ToolBox™ operational preferences and features of your audio hardware. Use the Options Menu to:
 | Control the execution mode of the conversion processing tasks. |
| Control the location of executable files. |
These settings control preferences to customize operation for your environment. Audio ToolBox lets you set these preferences but you will normally not need to change these settings.
This will affect what is displayed when you press the Execute button for your Audio ToolBox command.
| Normal: This setting tells Audio ToolBox to show a windowed DOS session to display the progress and display messages during processing. This setting lets you view any messages and monitor progress during time-consuming operations. |
| Minimized: This setting tells Audio ToolBox to show the conversion DOS session as a minimized icon. This setting lets you monitor progress (by double-clicking on the icon) but does not distract from your other work with a regular screen. Use this setting after you are comfortable with the Audio ToolBox functionality, and know the requested operation will complete as expected. |
| Hidden: This setting tells Audio ToolBox to completely hide the conversion DOS session. This setting lets you perform the Audio ToolBox operations, but does not distract from your other work with any visual indicator. Use this setting after you are comfortable with the Audio ToolBox functionality, and know the requested operation will complete as expected. |
This will affect what is displayed after the Audio ToolBox command has completed processing.
| Normal: This setting tells the Audio ToolBox tools to always exit after executing. This setting causes the selected tool to terminate when complete, thus permitting processing to occur in the background without the need for user intervention. |
| Pause on error: This setting tells the Audio ToolBox tools to exit after executing unless an error occurred. This setting lets you view any error messages and verify that the requested operation completed as expected. |
| Pause on warning: This setting tells the Audio ToolBox tools to exit after executing unless a warning or error occurred. This setting lets you view any warning or error messages and verify that the requested operation completed as expected. |
| Pause always: This setting tells the Audio ToolBox tools to always pause after executing. This setting lets you view any messages displayed during operation. |
| This setting specifies the location of the Audio ToolBox tools. These are the executable files that end with the EXE extension. Change this parameter if you are on a disk-less workstation or running from a networked drive. You can also use this setting if you do not have the Audio ToolBox installation directory in your DOS PATH environment variable. |
