Hello. I am new to this forum and quite new to inquisit. 



Soo... I have a question about the batch-script:



I have defined it as:


<batch part1>


/file ="Exp.exp"


/file ="fragebogen.exp"


</batch>



So it runs the experiment first and then runs a questionnaire.



The <data> block is defined in the Exp.exp file as 


<data>


   /columns = [date, time, values.subjectid, values.taskphase, trialnum, values.itemnumber, values.condition,


   values.nrecallread,values.nrecallwrite,values.ipsum,values.mwtsum,response,values.digitback]


   </data>



So I have a question now about the data block:


As it is defined in the Exp.exp and not in the questionnaire (fragebogen.exp) where only the likert scale elements and questions + preinstructions/postinstructions are defined, how will the data be saved?


The data block in the Exp.exp requires the subject to give an identification code. Will this identification code be saved for the batch-script globally (experiment + questionnaire) or will it only be saved for the Exp.exp elements?


And if latter: how can I define it to be globally for both scripts?



I hope you understand my question^^

Any <data> element only applies to the script it resides in. A <data> element in Exp.exp does not affect fragebogen.exp and vice versa. There will be separate data files for each script.

You can't. You either need to merge data files later on or not use separate scripts to begin with.

Thank you very much for the quick answer.



Yeah. I wanted to have it all in one script, but there are some problems with that, unfortunately.



So I would have to define a new <data> element for fragebogen.exp where it asks the subject a second time for their identification code, right?

A <data> element only affects what is recorded. If you want people to enter some code, you'll also have to add a properly configured <openended> element to the respective script.
