We only have a limited number of Cedrus response boxes in our lab. Hence, programming and testing of experiments is mostly done on our office computers without a Cedrus device attached. We just add both Cedrus and keyboard codes as valid/correct responses. With Inquisit 3, changing one single line in the <defaults> section of a script allowed to switch between XID devices and keyboard. With the new <xid> element in Inquisit 4 we have to delete the whole XID element to test or run scripts on non-lab computers.

It would be nice if Inquisit could throw an XID error only if the xid device was used as an "/ inputdevice" somewhere, and give just a warning message otherwise.

Kind regards, Malte
