My lab has been using MediaLab for a year and it's been great. However, we are getting a new experiment ready and, after doing a few practice runs, I noticed that the data for one (and only one) of my questionnaires is being written to SPSS as a "String" variable. The width of the column is 50 characters, and under the "Measure" tab in SPSS, it says "Nominal" instead of "Scale" (the rest of my variables say scale). I would like for this questionnaire to be written to SPSS like the rest of them (i.e., as a Numeric variable, 8 character width, and "Scale" (rather than Nominal).
