UseLegacyDotWait

Description

Controls if the "legacy" (older version) or "ideal" .wait timer ise used. The "legacy" timer evaluates .wait conditions every 0.5 seconds. The "ideal" timer evaluates .wait conditions every 0.1 seconds, providing a more accurate timeout calculation.

The parameter EnableSecondaryDotWaitMechanism controls the wait function more accurately than this parameter does. Honeywell recommends using EnableSecondaryDotWaitMechanism instead.

Honeywell strongly recommends enabling the ideal timer for all applications to provide more precise .wait timing.

Every .wait condition at a prompt with vocabulary words must have a value longer than the longest vocabulary word, plus the longest expected delay between words. Because it evaluates more frequently, the ideal timer more strictly enforces this rule. If - after enabling this parameter - operators experience frequent cut-offs during speech, the .wait link timeout settings in the application may need to be increased. The optimal choice for a .wait timer value involves a tradeoff between improved responsiveness of the application and cutting the operator off too soon. Honeywell Voice strongly recommends a value of 6 or greater to allow enough time for English digits to be spoken. The value should be higher if the prompt contains longer vocabulary words.

This setting can be configured using the Ideal Dot Wait Timer option found in the Common Settings area when creating or modifying a task package. If you enable this setting in the task package, the UseLegacyDotWait parameter value is set to 0.

Valid Values

• 0 = The legacy .wait timer is disabled and the secondary .wait mechanism is enabled
• 1 = The legacy .wait timer is enabled

When this parameter is disabled, the EnableSecondaryDotWaitMechanism parameter is automatically enabled.
