SRBox problem

[Michiel Spape]

Hi Roni,

Not much, just the following: have you actually added it to Experiment Properties (edit>experiment>devices>add SRBOX, make sure it is actually on), rather than, for instance, a SERIAL object? If it is, you could turn it off and on (all lights on the SRBOX should light up) and see if the lights turn off when you start the experiment. Make it a blank experiment, change nothing in the SRBOX properties, and see whether adding only one text display with infinite duration and only the SRBOX as input object turns off.

 

Other than that, I can't imagine much else goes wrong, unless the device installation went awry at some point during E-Prime installation. You could try re-installing e-prime.

Cheers,

Mich

Subject: Fwd: SRBox problem

 

Hi all,

 

We're experiencing some problems with a serial response box we have recently puchased (model 200A). When trying to run an experiment in E-Prime using the box we get an error message numbered 10051 (see image SRBox1.jpg). We are running E-Prime 2 on a Windows XP computer.

 

The SRBox is connected to the actual port (and not to a serial-to-USB adapter). 

 

The drivers are installed on the machine, and the device is well connected. We couldn't locate any conflicting ports, and we have full privileges on the machine. We also tried changing the "bits per second" property for the port (under device manager) to 19,200, but it didn't help.
 

Attached is a screenshot of the device manager (SRBox2.jpg). As you can see, the SRBox appears under "Other devices", and not under "Communications Port". Could this be the problem? What might cause it? 
 
However - when I tested the box using the SRBoxTester, everything looked OK (see attached image - SRBox3.jpg - which was taken while holding keys 2 & 3) . 
  
Any suggestions? 

 

Thanks,

Roni
