Missing LOC value

[jarvis24]

In your stimulus:

~Was this the number you were told to remember (press F key for "yes",
J key for "no")? 731269

The double quotes and/or the comma may be causing the trouble since these characters have special meaning in a comma delimited file. Try this stimulus without the double quotes first (maybe use single quotes?) and then without the comma is that doesn't work.

Hi Jarvis.
I'm having the same problem too. It says line 11 has a value for a loc column.
Here is my input file.

First thing I noticed is that you have what looks to be two Time columns (columns N and O). Do you want the stimuli displayed for 200ms or do you want to capture and RT? Do you see what I mean?

Hi Jarvis,

I've started developing my test on an XP machine while the Vista edition is being sorted, but am getting a similar problem to others in having a 'Missing LOC value in Row 2'. This doesn't happen if I delete the 'bgr' and 'wgr' columns, but then I get the message 'Row 16 has missing Time value', despite having identical time values to those before it. Originally the attached file was much larger and I was told Row 32 had the problem, so I removed that section without touching anything before it - and that's when it gave the same message about row 16. What do you think? Is the fact I'm using mpeg files anything to do with it?

Regards

I seem to be getting the "missing value in LOC in row _" as well, but I none of the other suggestions seem applicable. Any suggestions (my file is attached).

MLM--I think yours is being caused because you have an extra RWG column inserted after your Style column. I think those value maybe should go into the WGR column and then the RWG column can be deleted. I know there was some confusion in the documentation at some point of RWG vs WGR but they are both acronyms for the same function.

L4Lab--I think yours is coming from having a comment column placed before the block and trial columns rather than after. See the standard priming sample in the applications sample folder for a relevant example.
