From Sanjo.Nitschke at postgrad.manchester.ac.uk Mon Oct 1 07:30:04 2007 From: Sanjo.Nitschke at postgrad.manchester.ac.uk (Sanjo Nitschke) Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2007 08:30:04 +0100 Subject: poky output Message-ID: Dear E=prime users, I am running e-prime on a laptop but the output does not spread over the full screen size. All around is a massive black margin and the actual output is centered in the middle of the screen and takes only about 1/4th of its size (looks a bit like a postcard in the centre of a turned off screen). The laptop has a widescreen, however, the margin is not only on the left and right side but also on the top and bottom of the displayed output. I already changed the screen setting in windows but it didnt help, the output screen remains absolutely unchanged. Does anyone know about this problem? Thanks, Sanjo. From Sanjo.Nitschke at postgrad.manchester.ac.uk Mon Oct 1 17:33:31 2007 From: Sanjo.Nitschke at postgrad.manchester.ac.uk (Sanjo Nitschke) Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2007 18:33:31 +0100 Subject: poky output - thank you all Message-ID: Thank you all for the helpful replies on my query. In case anyone experiences the same trouble, here is a way to deal with it: The size of the output display can be increased by double clicking on Experiment Object > Devices > Display > Edit. In my case not all settings were functional but 1024x768 worked. This still doesn't stretch the presented content, but this can tediously be done by changing the parameters on the slides and text displays. Setting relative (%) figures and selecting the "stretch YES" option (for slides only) also kept the whole thing functional on machines where it ran well before. Thanks again, Sanjo.

Since this is an in-scanner experiment, I have an inline code which enables my experiment to listen to a scanner pulse and execute certain actions (such as end the duration of a stimulus or an interstimulus interval). Now what I'm trying to achieve is that instead of programming my interstimuls intervals to last for a given duration based on computer time ... I want them to last for an x number of scanner pulses ... so instead of terminating a the interstimulus interval at the first instance of a pulse ... it would terminate it on the second third or fourth etc .. instances of a pulse.

On any given trial, the participant can request a "clue" or provide a solution. I have created textdisplay objects for the sequential presentation of items in the series, but I cannot figure out how to create two possible responses (request clue or solve). I know how to create the requested objects (another text with the next clue or a text with a keyboard input field), but I cannot figure out how to create the two responses which lead to the corresponding textdisplays. Can anyone give me some direction? Thanks in advance. Jean -- Jean E.

The script can perform various actions during this time. Very useful when you want to send a signal while an object is on screen, or are collecting multiple responses and want to have a specific action taken after each response. One of our most useful samples. Visual Analog Scale - demonstrates how to use a Slide object and/or the Canvas object to present a multi-point scale that the subject can submit a rating on (similar to a Likert scale). Click and Drag - demonstrates how to use the Slide object to implement a click-and-drag experiment, where the subject must replicate a sequence by dragging boxes into the goal areas. Multiple Response Collection - demonstrates how to collect multiple responses to the same object. Present Trials for Specified Time - demonstrates how to run trials continuously until a specific amount of time has elapsed. Load Image Upon Response - demonstrates how to have an image appear when the subject clicks a specific area. Also demonstrates the HitTest, which is used to determine where a subject clicked. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "E-Prime" group.

I thought I would add more formal instructions for anyone interested: In any experiment in which you wish to present sound, the Sound Device on the Experiment Object of your E-Prime experiment must be configured for the same audio format as your sound files. Otherwise, a runtime error will occur. Please check the audio formats of your wav files. You can do this by opening the files in Windows Sound Recorder (in XP) and, under the File menu, selecting Properties. You should choose a format that is directly supported by E-Prime (8 bit or 16 bit; 11025 Hz, 22050Hz or 44100Hz; stereo or mono), and all of your wav files that will be used in this experiment should be saved in that format. Note that, unfortunately, Windows Vista's Sound Recorder does not let you check/ set these properties, so you would need to use a third party application in this case. Then, open the Experiment Object (by double-clicking it in the Structure window of your experiment), click on the Devices tab, and select the Sound Device. If you click Edit, you will be able to see the current configuration and make changes to match the audio format of your wav file(s). Once the settings of your Sound Device and WAV files match, please try to run your experiment again.

For example: Dim arrCorrect(40) As String arrCorrect(1) = "x" arrCorrect(2) = "y" ... Then, after the response has come in, you would do: Dim nCount As Integer For nCount = 1 To 40 If Stimulus.RESP = arrStim(nCount) Then Stimulus.ACC = 1 Exit For End If Next This will automatically check the subject's response against every possible answer. If there is a match, it sets the ACC property to 1, which is what the FeedbackDisplay bases its presentation on (i.e. ACC = 1 displays correct feedback). The Exit For command is used to jump out of the loop if a match is made (i.e. since the response will not match any other possibilities and there is no reason to continue checking). - Matt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "E-Prime" group.

You can get to this via the Help menu in E- Studio. Then, do a search for the Array topic. In general, you would want to declare this array globally, so that it retains all of these values throughout the experiment, and from any level (i.e. you want to be able to view its contents at the Session, Block, Trial, etc levels). To declare it globally, open the Script window from the View menu and then click the User tab. Here, you can enter variable declarations for global variables. This is where you would place: Dim arrCorrect(40) As String Then, you would place an InLine at the start of the experiment to "fill" the array with the necessary values. This will need to be done manually, but there are ways to use a loop to do this. For example, you could create a List object in the Unreferenced E-Objects folder in your experiment, create an attribute named "CorrectResponse", and then enter all of the possible correct answers in this List under this attribute. Then, in the InLine at the start of the experiment, you can use a loop to load the array via this List. For example, say the List is named AnswerList: Dim nCount As Integer For nCount = 1 To 40 arrCorrect(nCount) = AnswerList.GetAttrib(nCount, "CorrectResponse") Next This will load the array automatically, and you won't need to create 40 separate lines of script. This also makes editing the correct responses easier, since you can just change the values in the List. - Matt PST Technical Consultant http://www.pstnet.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "E-Prime" group.

I can add a joystick to the general expt. properties, but now with the RC, I am unable to add it to the input properties for text display objects and such (we want to use the game controller for responding to comprehension questions). The file was originally made in the beta version, but when we try running it in 2.0RC, the screen flickers out and turns black, and the program won't run. I tried removing the joystick from the input properties for text objects, but now I can't re-add it; it doesn't show up under input devices (in text display object > input), though as I said, the joystick option shows up under global expt. properties. Other files work fine that don't require a joystick. When we took the joystick out of the computer and specify keyboard input, the program works fine. BTW, the joystick is a simple Logitech game controller, and it worked fine in the 2.0 beta version.

In my case not all settings were functional but 1024x768 worked. This still doesn't stretch the presented content, but this can tediously be done by changing the parameters on the slides and text displays. Setting relative (%) figures and selecting the "stretch YES" option (for slides only) also kept the whole thing functional on machines where it ran well before. Thanks again, Sanjo.

A video file that plays in an experiment created by Beta will not play in an experiment in Release Candidate. I get the following error: -999: Unable to buffer movie - too many retries This is odd, since Beta was able to play the file with the same settings. I've updated my codecs and that did not help. If anyone has any other ideas I would certainly appreciate it. Thanks! - Tony -- Tony T.

The script can perform various actions during this time. Very useful when you want to send a signal while an object is on screen, or are collecting multiple responses and want to have a specific action taken after each response. One of our most useful samples. Visual Analog Scale - demonstrates how to use a Slide object and/or the Canvas object to present a multi-point scale that the subject can submit a rating on (similar to a Likert scale). Click and Drag - demonstrates how to use the Slide object to implement a click-and-drag experiment, where the subject must replicate a sequence by dragging boxes into the goal areas. Multiple Response Collection - demonstrates how to collect multiple responses to the same object. Present Trials for Specified Time - demonstrates how to run trials continuously until a specific amount of time has elapsed. Load Image Upon Response - demonstrates how to have an image appear when the subject clicks a specific area. Also demonstrates the HitTest, which is used to determine where a subject clicked. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "E-Prime" group.

I thought I would add more formal instructions for anyone interested: In any experiment in which you wish to present sound, the Sound Device on the Experiment Object of your E-Prime experiment must be configured for the same audio format as your sound files. Otherwise, a runtime error will occur. Please check the audio formats of your wav files. You can do this by opening the files in Windows Sound Recorder (in XP) and, under the File menu, selecting Properties. You should choose a format that is directly supported by E-Prime (8 bit or 16 bit; 11025 Hz, 22050Hz or 44100Hz; stereo or mono), and all of your wav files that will be used in this experiment should be saved in that format. Note that, unfortunately, Windows Vista's Sound Recorder does not let you check/ set these properties, so you would need to use a third party application in this case. Then, open the Experiment Object (by double-clicking it in the Structure window of your experiment), click on the Devices tab, and select the Sound Device. If you click Edit, you will be able to see the current configuration and make changes to match the audio format of your wav file(s). Once the settings of your Sound Device and WAV files match, please try to run your experiment again.

For example: Dim arrCorrect(40) As String arrCorrect(1) = "x" arrCorrect(2) = "y" ... Then, after the response has come in, you would do: Dim nCount As Integer For nCount = 1 To 40 If Stimulus.RESP = arrStim(nCount) Then Stimulus.ACC = 1 Exit For End If Next This will automatically check the subject's response against every possible answer. If there is a match, it sets the ACC property to 1, which is what the FeedbackDisplay bases its presentation on (i.e. ACC = 1 displays correct feedback). The Exit For command is used to jump out of the loop if a match is made (i.e. since the response will not match any other possibilities and there is no reason to continue checking). - Matt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "E-Prime" group.

You can get to this via the Help menu in E- Studio. Then, do a search for the Array topic. In general, you would want to declare this array globally, so that it retains all of these values throughout the experiment, and from any level (i.e. you want to be able to view its contents at the Session, Block, Trial, etc levels). To declare it globally, open the Script window from the View menu and then click the User tab. Here, you can enter variable declarations for global variables. This is where you would place: Dim arrCorrect(40) As String Then, you would place an InLine at the start of the experiment to "fill" the array with the necessary values. This will need to be done manually, but there are ways to use a loop to do this. For example, you could create a List object in the Unreferenced E-Objects folder in your experiment, create an attribute named "CorrectResponse", and then enter all of the possible correct answers in this List under this attribute. Then, in the InLine at the start of the experiment, you can use a loop to load the array via this List. For example, say the List is named AnswerList: Dim nCount As Integer For nCount = 1 To 40 arrCorrect(nCount) = AnswerList.GetAttrib(nCount, "CorrectResponse") Next This will load the array automatically, and you won't need to create 40 separate lines of script. This also makes editing the correct responses easier, since you can just change the values in the List. - Matt PST Technical Consultant http://www.pstnet.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "E-Prime" group.

I can add a joystick to the general expt. properties, but now with the RC, I am unable to add it to the input properties for text display objects and such (we want to use the game controller for responding to comprehension questions). The file was originally made in the beta version, but when we try running it in 2.0RC, the screen flickers out and turns black, and the program won't run. I tried removing the joystick from the input properties for text objects, but now I can't re-add it; it doesn't show up under input devices (in text display object > input), though as I said, the joystick option shows up under global expt. properties. Other files work fine that don't require a joystick. When we took the joystick out of the computer and specify keyboard input, the program works fine. BTW, the joystick is a simple Logitech game controller, and it worked fine in the 2.0 beta version. Any help would be appreciated. thanks, kent lee --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "E-Prime" group.

You can find this by selecting "About E-Studio" from the Help menu. The version number will be immediately to the right of "E-Prime 2.0 (Release Candidate)" and should be along the lines of "2.0.1.XXX", where XXX is 92 or higher. Also, can you provide more information about the environment you are running on (e.g. operating system, machine specs, etc). Finally, this looks like it might be a pain in the Google Group, but can you upload the file you are having difficulty with so that I can take a look at it?

So in my inline code, I have something like: c.setAttrib "pulseCode", "8" and I have [pulseCode] under one of the allowable buttons for my SRBOX under Duration/Input. My question is: how does one actually keep track of whether or not and how many times that pulse code has been detected. I tried placing a counter in my inline code that increments everytime that event takes place .... but how do I actually code that event ... i.e. ? would it be something like if (c.GetAttrib("pulseCode") == 8) ....then execute a certain action??? thanks in advance for any feedback --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "E-Prime" group.
