experiment timer, or safe mid-experiment stop?

[Alison T Miller Singley]

I'd like to modify an experiment to last only 10 minutes total, so 
regardless of how many trials a subject completes, the experiment stops at 
10 minutes.

I can think of two options, but I don't know how to operationalize either 
of them:  :)
1 - have the test administrator watch time and manually stop the experiment 
at 10 minutes
Issue: by aborting the experiment (with ctrl+alt+shift), the .edat file is 
not created. Is there a way to safely stop an experiment and preserve the 
data? Or a way to write the .edat file continuously?

2 - set an experiment-level timer to end after 10 minutes
Issue: I don't know how to do this. :) Does anyone know of a feature or 
code I could use as an example?

Thanks!
