system.util.beep
This function is used in Python Scripting.
Description​
Tells the computer where the script is running to make a "beep" sound. The computer must have a way of producing sound.
A Word on Scope​
While this function is technically scoped for Gateway and Perspective Sessions, it's intended for use in Vision Clients.
When calling this function from the Gateway scope, the sound will not play unless the operating system has been configured to allow services to play sounds (an uncommon scenario).
When calling this function from Perspective, the script also executes on the Gateway, meaning the caveat above about allowing services to play sounds is a factor. In addition, the sound will play on the Gateway, not the session. To play sounds from a Perspective Session, it's recommended to use the play() component method on the Perspective Audio component.
