Detailed Description

This class can be used to generate PCM data for tones (such as telephone calling tones and DTMF) at a sample rate of 8khz.

The class contains a master volume which is applied as well as the individual tone volumes. Thus a master volume ot 50% and a tone voluem of 50% would result in a net volume of 25%.

Tones may be described via a list of descriptor strings based on an ITU-T "semi-standard", one used within various standard documents but not a standard in itself. This format was enhanced to allow for multiple tones and volume indications.

The basic format is:

[volume % ] frequency ':' cadence [ '/' ... ]

where frequency is one of frequency single frequency tone freq1 '+' freq2 two frequency juxtaposed (simple mixing) freq1 'x' freq2 first frequency modulated by second frequency freq1 '-' freq2 Alternate frequencies, generated tone is freq1 used for compatibility with tone filters and cadence is mintime ontime '-' offtime [ '-' ontime '-' offtime [ ... ] ]

and volume is a percentage of full volume

examples: 300:0.25 300Hz for minimum 250ms 1100:0.4-0.4 1100Hz with cadence 400ms on, 400ms off 900-1300:1.5 900Hz for 1.5 seconds 350+440:1 350Hz superimposed with 440Hz (US dial tone) for 1 second 425x15:0.4-0.2-0.4-2 425Hz modulated with 15Hz (Aus ring back tone) with cadence 400ms on, 200ms off, 400ms on, 2s off 425:0.4-0.1/50425:0.4-0.1 425Hz with cadence 400ms on, 100ms off, 400ms on, 100ms off, where second tone is reduced in volume by 50%

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PTones::PTones

(

unsigned

masterVolume = MaxVolume

)

Create an empty tone buffer. Tones added will use the specified master volume.

Parameters:

masterVolume

Percentage volume

PTones::PTones	(	const PString &	descriptor,
		unsigned	masterVolume = MaxVolume
	)

Create a filled tone buffer using the specified descriptor.

Parameters:

descriptor	Descriptor string for tone(s). See class notes.
masterVolume	Percentage volume

Member Function Documentation

void PTones::AddSample	(	int	sample,
		unsigned	volume
	)			[protected]

unsigned PTones::CalcSamples	(	unsigned	milliseconds,
		unsigned	frequency1,
		unsigned	frequency2 = 0
	)			[protected]

bool PTones::Generate	(	char	operation,
		unsigned	frequency1,
		unsigned	frequency2,
		unsigned	milliseconds,
		unsigned	volume = MaxVolume
	)

Generate a tone using the specified values. The operation parameter may be '+', 'x', '-' or ' ' for summing, modulation, pure tone or silence resepctively. The tones duration is always rounded up to the nearest even multiple of the tone cycle to assure correct zero crossing when tones change.

Parameters:

frequency1	Primary frequency for tone
frequency2	Secondary frequency for summing or modulation
milliseconds	Duration of tone
volume	Percentage volume

bool PTones::Generate

(

const PString &

descriptor

)

Generate a tone using the specified descriptor. See class general notes for format of the descriptor string.

Parameters:

descriptor

Descriptor string for tone(s). See class notes.
