Staircase procedure

[Jared G Smith]

I want to construct an experiment using a staircase procedure to determine
a threshold. Specifically, I want to establish the temporal threshold for a
temporal-order judgement task (in which participants simply report which of
2 visual stimuli appear first) using multiple staircases.  Although I'm
considering programming this in C, I'd like to first look at using E-prime.
Has anyone used E-prime for this procedure or have an idea of how to do it
simply in E-Prime, or does such a method require hard-coding in E-Basic?

Would be grateful for any help on this matter.

Thanks for that.
