That is, it times out after 10 minutes, but also does not go to next item if Ss finishes before 10 minutes. Can this be done?<br/><br/>I have looked at the response and timeout elements. Both seem to limit, but not force, duration.<br/><br/>Many thanks,<br/>paulThu, 04 Sep 2014 03:29:26 GMTpaughlhttps://forums.millisecond.com/Topic14141.aspxA /timeout can only enforce a *maximum* duration for a &lt;block&gt;. If a &lt;block&gt; runs out of trials *prior* to the set /timeout, what should it do with the remaining time other than terminate since there are no more trials left?<br/><br/>Thus, if you want to ensure that the &lt;block&gt; cannot terminate prior to the set /timeout, you need to have it run a sufficient number of trials -- enough to make sure that nobody can complete them all before the &lt;block&gt; times out.<br/>Thu, 04 Sep 2014 03:29:26 GMTDave
