Hi all,
I have a problem by setting up the port for the cyberball task. When I try to run the script, the following error always occurs: "Unable to obtain the address for parallel port 1". I checked the port number in the system device manager (it is named LPT1 there) and tried also some portnumbers at the parallel port monitor tool where the error occured too although a trigger is sent. So what could be the reason for that error? I also used another task with Presentation and with the same port number and it works well with that. Or is the port set up not working with the free version?
For better understanding, here are the port and appropriated trial definitions:
(trial "wait" is the added "wait for connection" text before the ball tossing game begins)
************TRIALS & BLOCKS****************************
<trial wait>
/ validresponse = (0)
/ trialduration = round(5000)
/ stimulustimes = [0=blankscreen; 500=wait, onsetsignal_connect; 1500=endsignal_connect; 4500=blankscreen]
</trial>
<block wait>
/ trials = [1=wait]
</block>
**************************************************************************************************************Trigger
**********************************
****************************************************************************
<port onsetsignal_connect>
/ port = LPT1
/ subport = data
/ items = ("00000010")
</port>
<port endsignal_connect>
/ port = LPT1
/ subport = data
/ items = ("00000000")
</port>
Thank you very much for your help.
