Data saving

Hi there,
I  use Inquisit for my M.A. and I had to say it's great tool, however I'm a beginner in it.

While building a one part of my experiment I had a problem with saving data.
Inquisit makes 2 files out of all data after experiment. One is nearly empty, and second one is pretty chaotic for me.[+o(]  It's different than others I've seen.



Can somebody help me somehow with that?[{]
I suppose, I made some mistake in a code.
In experiment I want to have a list of pages with questions in form of radiobuttons, and buttons that give a possibility to go back, and to go next.


And I'd like to know is it possible to save response latency for each individual radiobutton - not for all survey page?



In *rar I attached my script and 2 files with data (with original names).

Kuba,


Inquisit is saving two data files because it thinks that you are running both a reaction time test and a survey, which have different data output formats, when in fact you are really just running a survey.


You can work either ignore the empty file, or you can work around this issue by eliminating the <expt> and <instruct> elements and simply presenting the the survey instructions using <caption> elements.


Ideally, Inquisit would determine whether any reaction time data are actually produced, and if not, it wouldn't save the second file. I've logged this as a bug to be fixed in a future release.

Was so simple.


Thanks Sean
