Hi everyone,
our lab
updated to Inquisit 4 last week and now there is a little problem with our
batchfiles.
We use external
batchilfes outside of Inquisit´s batch-element, because we combine experiments
with different experimental-software and assignment to conditions is accomplished
via those files. This way,
we automatically specify our subject-IDs, so that several modules can be
started one after another without requiring a research assistant to type the
subject-ID at the start of each single module.
An example
code for a module looks like that:
ECHO CLS
>> IL2%C%%A%%D%%B%.cmd
ECHO ECHO Please
wait... >> IL2%C%%A%%D%%B%.cmd
ECHO
"c:\\program files\\millisecond software\\inquisit 3\\inquisit.exe"
"O:\SHARED\Human Lab\Studies\IL2\01_PictureStoryExercise\IL2_pse.exp"
%C%%A%%D%%B% >> IL2%C%%A%%D%%B%.cmd
ECHO CLS
>> IL2%C%%A%%D%%B%.cmd
But if I
use Inquisit 4 instead of 3, the program wants the user-ID (and now a group number
additionally) to be entered by hand again at the start of each module. Could
the required group number cause this problem? And if so,
how do I turn this feature off so that Inquisit only aks the subject-ID like in
3.0.6 or so?
Or could I
modify the batch-file in such a way that the group number is automatically
entered as a constant and does not interfere with automatic testing anymore?
Thanks and
best regards,
Martin
