<div dir="ltr">Hi David, <br>thank you for your advice, I got it.<br>What actually concerns me is this one, since my machine in the lab run exactly Windows XP: "The E-Prime Primary Clock is configured in a way that could cause timing
inconsistencies on Windows XP. Contact PST Tech Support to configure the clock
for more stabilized performance when using Windows XP with this finding". I contacted the PST tech support but still no reply. In the meantime, do you have any knowledge about that? Should I install a new OS in my lab machine? <br><br>On Friday, 27 September 2013 15:49:28 UTC+1, McFarlane, David wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0;margin-left: 0.8ex;border-left: 1px #ccc solid;padding-left: 1ex;">Valerio,
<br>
<br>You can puzzle this out for yourself. Try the following. Open a
<br>blank (Professional) experiment. Run it. Now look at the resulting
<br>ExperimentAdvisorReport.xml. See the Experiment Advisor Modules
<br>table? Does it include all the same items as before, even though the
<br>experiment is completely blank?
<br>
<br>Now disable some of the Experiment Advisor Modules. E.g., back in
<br>E-Studio, open the Experiment Object Properties, go to the Experiment
<br>Advisor tab, and disable "Use of ClearAfter" and "Use of
<br>Stretch". Run this, open the resulting ExperimentAdvisorReport.xml,
<br>and look at the Experiment Advisor Modules table. Do you see that
<br>"An object has its ClearAfter property set to Yes..." and "A visual
<br>object has its Stretch property set to Yes..." have both disappeared?
<br>
<br> From this evidence would you conclude that the Experiment Advisor
<br>Modules table tells you only what modules were enabled, and not what
<br>problems it found? Would you find this useful, because without this
<br>information you could not tell whether the lack of a warning only
<br>meant that that test was not run?
<br>
<br>As usual, do not take my word for any of this, test it out for
<br>yourself. I presented my answer this way because I need to stress
<br>that I do not have any inside knowledge about E-Prime, I simply
<br>figure it out exactly as I outlined above.
<br>
<br>Best regards,

<br>>Quick question about this interesting feature of e-prime. When I

<br>>the meaning of onset to onset stats, onset delay stats, load time
<br>>stats and experiment advisor finding, the last table is a little bit
<br>>more difficult for me to understand: Experiment Advisor Modules.
<br>>I was checking this table when I notice that most of the "problem"
<br>>pointed out by this table was actually not relevant for my design. For example:
<br>> "A visual object has its Stretch property set to Yes, which can
<br>> cause display timing anomalies. Instead of using Stretch, consider
<br>> editing the source material to match the size and proportions you
<br>> want to display during the experiment".
<br>>But no visual object in my experiment has stretch set to Yes. Or, again:
<br>>"An object has its ClearAfter property set to Yes. ClearAfter is a
<br>>deprecated property."
<br>>
<br>>This is not true for any of my object.
<br>>So, how reliable is this table?
<br>>Or maybe it just point out to POSSIBLE/LIKELY problems, without
<br>>actually telling that you are incurring in one of those?
<br>>
<br>>Thank you very much for any clarification.
<br>>Valerio
