From theosteger at di.mdacc.tmc.edu Mon Feb 3 19:28:03 2003 From: theosteger at di.mdacc.tmc.edu (Theodore Steger) Date: Mon, 3 Feb 2003 13:28:03 -0600 Subject: wav file too large Message-ID: I have run into a bit of trouble when inserting a .wav file of length greater than 100 seconds. The field that asks for the max length of the sound file requires an integer between 10 and 100000 ms. This was not the case in the Beta versions, and I have only seen this problem with Version 1.0. When I try to run the experiment, I get a error that says that the file is too large for the buffer. Is there any known fix to this, or will I have to break my sound file up into smaller pieces? Any comments would be appreciated.

I am running a task in which participants tap to a tone on response keyboards built in our lab. I would like to record the times at which taps occur when keeping with the pacing tone. Since eprime has to play .wav files to produce a sound, I am having a hard time producing a pacing tone and at the SAME TIME record responses from the response keys. Do you know if this is even possible? to do two things at the same time? I keep running into the problem that the key presses will only be read if the sound is not running, and likewise, the sound will only run if it is the only thing being executed. It seems as if the program is essentially paused while the .wav file is playing. Also, since I am looping the .wav file with a sleep of 500, I cannot do anything until the looping is finished. Any ideas?

However, when I try to change the filename: SoundOut1.Filename = "nextfile.wav" I get the error "Filename is not an assignable property of the object". Does anyone know how to change the filename of a SoundOut object? Also, I notice there are startoffset and stopoffset properties that are measured in bytes. Is there a way to specify, in seconds, when to start/stop playback? I realize accessing a windows function would do the job just as easily but I would like to use E-Prime functionality whenever possible.

As for your second question, I'm not sure about offsets, as I haven't used them personally. It seems like if you need the file to start from a certain timepoint, you may want to cut the file and add a seperate file that starts from the particular timepoint. These offsets have nothing to do, as far as I can tell, with when the file starts playing, but rather with where in the file play begins.

(and SPACE is like a button click when a msgbox has focus) Under "Advanced" in the TextDisplay properties window, there is a "flush input buffer" but this is already set to "yes" and also this seems to flush the input when the TextDisplay initializes. So I guess what I'm trying to figure out is either: 1. How do you flush the input buffer AFTER a TextDisplay? or 2. How can I check what key was entered into a TextDisplay? (to eliminate the msgbox altogether) Thank you for any advice, Justin Lolofie From shaidanz at bgumail.bgu.ac.il Thu Feb 13 09:17:56 2003 From: shaidanz at bgumail.bgu.ac.il (Shai Danziger) Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2003 11:17:56 +0200 Subject: msbox as an input device Message-ID: I was wondering whether anyone has used the msgbox as an input device for a mouse that scrolls through the window.

I am doing a study in which we are presenting auditory stimuli in the form of letters to a subject, then providing both visual and auditory distractors, then probing to see if they can remember what they heard. Unfortunately, when I try to run the program it tells me that it "cannot resolve [nameofsoundfile.wav] in this context." What must I do to get this to run properly. All of the .wav files are in the proper folder, and all are specified properly in the procedures. I am guessing there is some little nuance that I am unaware of that is preventing my program from working. I would appreciate advice from anybody who might be able to help me solve this problem.

I have good control (as in zero timing delay with even single vertical retrace stimulus displays) at 60Hz. You really need the active TFT display and spending the extra money on a high-end model I feel is worth it. Good luck Gab Lab!

(and SPACE is like a button click when a msgbox has focus) Under "Advanced" in the TextDisplay properties window, there is a "flush input buffer" but this is already set to "yes" and also this seems to flush the input when the TextDisplay initializes. So I guess what I'm trying to figure out is either: 1. How do you flush the input buffer AFTER a TextDisplay? or 2. How can I check what key was entered into a TextDisplay? (to eliminate the msgbox altogether) Thank you for any advice, Justin Lolofie From shaidanz at bgumail.bgu.ac.il Thu Feb 13 09:17:56 2003 From: shaidanz at bgumail.bgu.ac.il (Shai Danziger) Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2003 11:17:56 +0200 Subject: msbox as an input device Message-ID: I was wondering whether anyone has used the msgbox as an input device for a mouse that scrolls through the window. Basically, I want subjects to rank how confident they are in a certain decision by marking a their subjective point of certainty. So for example, a subject that is confident at 33% will tick the box a third of the way thru. A subject that is 66% sure will tick it 2/3 of the way thu, etc. Thanks Dr. Shai Danziger School of Management, Ben Gurion University P.O.B 653 Beer Sheva 84105 ISRAEL, telephone: 972-8-6477901 fax: 972-8-6477697 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am doing a study in which we are presenting auditory stimuli in the form of letters to a subject, then providing both visual and auditory distractors, then probing to see if they can remember what they heard. Unfortunately, when I try to run the program it tells me that it "cannot resolve [nameofsoundfile.wav] in this context." What must I do to get this to run properly. All of the .wav files are in the proper folder, and all are specified properly in the procedures. I am guessing there is some little nuance that I am unaware of that is preventing my program from working. I would appreciate advice from anybody who might be able to help me solve this problem.
