Hi,
I want to display timer before the trial - So timer should warn the subjects that the test is beginning in 6 seconds and goes back from 6 to 0 and the trial then starts.
So in my clock script, I have timeout = 6 and duration is 6 but timer still starts from 59 and goes to zero .
How to ensure that timer starts from 6 and not from 59.
Thanks
<clock myclock>/ mode = timer/ format = "s"/ timeout = 7000</clock><trial mytrial>/stimulusframes = [1=myclock]/ timeout = 7000</trial>
Further details are available in the documentation / language reference for the <clock> element.
Thanks Dave
Its perfect.
But another weird problem
/ blocks = [1=demographics1; 2=agreement; 3=picpractice; 4=timer; 5=picdata; 6=timer; 7=picdata1]
these are my blocks. when timer is running for the first time it starts from 6 to 0 but before other blocks it starts from 59 to 0 .
Why is this happening ?
I am unable to reproduce this:
<clock myclock>/ mode = timer/ format = "s"/ timeout = 7000</clock><trial mytrial>/stimulusframes = [1=myclock]/ timeout = 7000</trial><block a>/ trials = [1=mytrial]</block><block b>/ trials = [1=mytrial]</block><expt>/ blocks = [1=a; 2=b]</expt>counts down as expected in Inquisit 4.0.3. Is your installation up to date?
