<br>
But this seems a very peculiar request. Ordinarily, you would take care of this in E-Studio from the Property Pages of each object of interest -- either go to the Duration/Input tab and select the desired Data Logging, or for finer granularity go to the Logging tab and select whatever you like.<br>

I'm new to e-basic, so I don't know if this is possible, but is there some way to write an inline file that will turn Time Audit on for everything (I'm doing an fMRI study, so it's very important to track all the timing information).<br>
<br>
I looked through the generate code and found what appears to be the code that turns on time audit for an individual object (in this case a TextDisplay called PreBlockInstructions)<br>
<br>
PreBlockInstructions.Run<br>
<br>
c.SetAttrib PreBlockInstructions.Name & ebDot & ebLogNameOnsetDelay, PreBlockInstructions.<u></u>OnsetDela<wbr>y<br>
<br>
c.SetAttrib PreBlockInstructions.Name & ebDot & ebLogNameOnsetTime, PreBlockInstructions.OnsetTime<br>
<br>
c.SetAttrib PreBlockInstructions.Name & ebDot & ebLogNameDurationError, PreBlockInstructions.<u></u>DurationE<wbr>rror<br>
c.SetAttrib PreBlockInstructions.Name & ebDot & ebLogNameOnsetToOnsetTime, PreBlockInstructions.<u></u>OnsetToOn<wbr>setTime<br>
<br>
<br>
I would like to make an inline that iterates over every declared variable of the TextDisplay type and call code similar to the above on each of those TextDisplays.<br>
<br>
Is this possible/feasible?<span><font color="#888888"><br>
