<h1><a name="Application_WaitForSilence-WaitForSilence%28%29"></a>WaitForSilence()</h1>
<h3><a name="Application_WaitForSilence-Synopsis"></a>Synopsis</h3>
<p>Waits for a specified amount of silence.</p>
<h3><a name="Application_WaitForSilence-Description"></a>Description</h3>
<p>Waits for up to <em>silencerequired</em> milliseconds of silence, <em>iterations</em> times. An optional <em>timeout</em> specified the number of seconds to return after, even if we do not receive the specified amount of silence. Use <em>timeout</em> with caution, as it may defeat the purpose of this application, which is to wait indefinitely until silence is detected on the line. This is particularly useful for reverse-911-type call broadcast applications where you need to wait for an answering machine to complete its spiel before playing a message. </p>
<p>Typically you will want to include two or more calls to WaitForSilence when dealing with an answering machine; first waiting for the spiel to finish, then waiting for the beep, etc. </p>
<p>Examples: </p>
<p>WaitForSilence(500,2) will wait for 1/2 second of silence, twice </p>
<p>WaitForSilence(1000) will wait for 1 second of silence, once </p>
<p>WaitForSilence(300,3,10) will wait for 300ms silence, 3 times, and returns after 10 sec, even if silence is not detected </p>
<p>Sets the channel variable Sets the channel variable <tt>None</tt> - <tt>WAITSTATUS</tt> to one of these values: </p>
<ul>
<li><tt>WAITSTATUS</tt> -
<ul>
<li><tt>SILENCE</tt> - if exited with silence detected.</li>
<li><tt>TIMEOUT</tt> - if exited without silence detected after timeout.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
