You also need to remove the spacebar from the trial's /validresponse and only allow 'noresponse'.

It does not update and isn't supposed to (see the documentation for the &lt;data&gt; element and the /columns attribute for details). You'll want to make careful use of the 'elapesedtime' and/or 'currenttime' properties and log them to the data file (again, see the appropriate documentation topics for more details).</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>~Dave</p>Tue, 17 Apr 2012 03:53:41 GMTDavehttps://forums.millisecond.com/Topic7865.aspx<p>Hi Sean,</p> <p>I am having a few difficulties with the timings (standard IAT) and was hoping you could offer some advice.&nbsp;Firstly, can't seem to get the IAT to monitor the time properly, as the data just repeatedly shows the start time for the participant, rather than real time data. &nbsp;Secondly, I would also like to fix the amount of time that the instructions are shown, as I need to plot the results against real time physiology data.&nbsp;</p> <p>Having had a look around the forum, I have managed to make the instructions auto advance after 30 seconds (sorry I can't remember the term used on here) and removed the text mentioning the spacebar, I am unable to stop its functionality, to stop any issues if pressed&nbsp;accidentally.</p> <p>Any advice greatly appreciated.</p> <p>John</p>Tue, 17 Apr 2012 03:41:32 GMTjm2209
