Can the vocal instructions for tests and testing sound files be moved to the test station to improve performance on networked CritiCall systems?
Yes. Under some network conditions the vocal files can take a moment to load. This can sometimes result in a delay before the sounds, or vocal instructions, are heard by test candidates. To alleviate this condition, the sound files can be moved to the test station(s). To do this, copy the entire \CritiCall\Sound Files folder to the test station(s)’s hard drive. Next, modify the file \CritiCall\opacsw.ini by adding the following lines: Environment Settings=Windows SoundPath=C:\Program Files\CritiCall\Data\Sound Files\ This example assumes that the Sound Files folder is copied to the C: drive and to the folder \Program Files\CritiCall\data. Now restart CritiCall to invoke these changes.
