Hello,

I had a participant complete a series of tests using lab version of inquisit 6. I have the original .iqdat RAW and SUMMARY data files. The summary data files shows that the participant completed all trials of all tasks (6 total) in the battery, however the raw file is only showing the results from one portion of one of the tasks. Does anyone know if there is a way to recover the remainder of the raw data file?
 
Thanks!

No, there isn't a way to recover data that wasn't recorded to begin with. I'm skeptical, however, that the raw data is actually incomplete. The only way I could see that happening is if you were wrting the raw data to a network drive, and the connection to that drive failed in an undetectable way.

For anything further, please provide:
(1) All the scripts and associated files (images, etc.)..
(2) The raw and summary data files.
(3) The application log from the system that was used to collect the data. (Tools -> View Log File... in Inquisit Lab.)

Hi Dave,

I have uploaded the script (battery_C.iqx) and associated files (Battery C.zip), the raw data file (battery_C_raw_9_2025-01-15-17-09-37-194.iqdat), the summary data file (battery_C_summary_9_2025-01-15-17-09-37-194.idqat). I have the log file, but am unable to upload it as the .log file type isn't supported. If you have an email address, I'm happy to send it through via email.

Thanks for looking into this

The log is the most important thing. You can just ZIP it and then attach the ZIP.
