Hi all,
I'm hoping to run a study in which I string together several pre-programmed Inquisit experiments, which I am currently doing via a batch script (see below). The tricky part is that some of the experiments are memory tasks with a timed delay (e.g., 30 minutes for the FNAME paradigm, link to the manual below), and I want to fill this delay with other experiments (e.g., srtvisual.iqx, msletternumbersequencingtest_auditory.iqx, etc.). I've done this by splitting FNAME into two parts: the part before the delay ("cog.battery.2021.iqx") and the part after the delay ("facenamepart2.iqx"), and calling on the other studies in between. However, it's important that the post-delay script ("facenamepart2.iqx") is as close to 30 minutes as possible. Is there a way to call on the last script based on the amount of time that has passed since the first script ended? I envision having "cog.battery.2021.iqx" run, then the other in-between tasks (which will total around 25-28 minutes run-time), and then having it hang onto a message "take a short break" until the remainder of the 30 minutes has elapsed. I'm not sure where to begin with this--any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!

<batch>
/file= "cog.battery.2021.iqx"
/file= "srtvisual.iqx"
/file= "msletternumbersequencingtest_auditory.iqx"
/file= "digitsymbolsubstitutiontask_test1.iqx"
/file= "facenamepart2.iqx"
</batch>
