Length of File Played

 

The length of the play time must be greater than or equal to the File time multiplied by the number of times the file is repeated.

 

Also expressed as the formula below:

 

 

Pt >= (Ft + Dt) x R

If the length of the file being played (or Ft) is 30 seconds, and the Interval or Delay time (Dt) is 10 seconds, and you want to repeat (R) the file 3 times, the Total time the file is played (Pt) must be > = 110 seconds.

If this formula is followed, the Interval time (default of 500ms) can be configured to be more.

However, if the total time (Pt) is LESS than the combined total of Ft and Dt, multiplied by the number of repetitions desired, the interval will not configure past the default of 500ms.
