+xwhen i run the IAT script in inquisit it saves the data locally. when i run it again with another group number/ participant code ect. it doesn safe the data. As in i click the safe button and close inquisit but when i click on the "data"file and it opens again it doesn´t show the latest data inserts.
Anyone an idea what is going wrong?
<summarydata >
/ file = "IAT_summary.iqdat"
/ columns = [script.startdate, script.starttime, script.subjectid, script.groupid, script.elapsedtime, values.completed,
expressions.da, expressions.db, expressions.d, expressions.percentcorrect]
</summarydata>
The summary data in some IAT scripts is supposed to go into the same file. I.e. if you run the script for the 1st time as participant A, the summary file is created. When you then run it again as participant B, participant B's data will be appended to the already existing summary data file.
(1) If you want separate summary files per participant, do
<summarydata >
/ file = "IAT_summary.iqdat"
/ columns = [script.startdate, script.starttime, script.subjectid, script.groupid, script.elapsedtime, values.completed,
expressions.da, expressions.db, expressions.d, expressions.percentcorrect]
/ separatefiles = true</summarydata>
(2) If you have a single summary data file, make sure you do not have the file opened in any other application (e.g. Excel) when running the script again. If the file is locked / in use by another application, Inquisit will not be able to append any new data to it.
(3) If you had the file already open in Inquisit, close and re-open it.
