Turning off Windows Notification Sounds

Before you begin your measurements, it is recommended that the Windows notification sounds are turned off or send to another sound card if you have several cards installed. By doing this you avoid disturbing the measurements. You can turn off the system sounds in the following way:

Find the Control Panel (click the Start button and choose settings). Then double-click on the folder Sounds. If you use Windows95:

You see a dialog box Sound Settings. At the bottom of the dialog box, find Settings and choose No sounds. If you use Windows NT:

You see a dialog box Sound Properties. Click Windows under Events.

Then click on the list field under Schemes. When the list appears, choose No Sounds.
