By default Inquisit will record data -- a sensible default, I might add. To exclude certain elements from being recorded to the data file, set the respective /recorddata attribute to 'false' (see the documentation for details). Otherwise simply discard data from training sessions prior to analysis.
Dave,
If we do not want to record data (i.e. for a training session), what do we use to set no data recording? Or is data recording the default?
Thank you.
Thank you!
Yes.
Yes, you can. Run your <surveypage>s via a <block> element's /trials attribute.
Will <survey> always create its own data file? Or can I just have 1 data file that contains the data from the clock test and also that data from the survey?
A <surveypage> is a special kind of <trial>, a <survey> is a special type of <block>. All the usual rules apply.
Is there a way to incorporate a survey page at the end of an experiment (in this case, a mackworth clock experiment)?
I'm not seeing any obvious error in the script -- I suspect something else must be going on. You may want to toy around with the <port> element's /erase settings and/or send another <port> signal between trials to re-set all bits to zero.
I am trying to devise a simple script that would send the word "HELLO" in binary format through the serial port. I am testing this by using a pair of virtual series ports where what is sent to one port is received by the other port. I am able to see what is being received by the other port, and the script that I have (attached in this thread) appears to only successfully send the letter "H" through but not the "ELLO". I am suspecting that there is an error in my script, so could you have a quick look at it and see if you can spot the error? I'm trying to make the script as simple as possible.
Thanks
This will depend on the actual devices / hardware. There is no general answer to this question, I'm afraid. You'll have to simply try and see if it works in your particular case.
This will also depend on the actual hardware as well as any involved device drivers.
