Direct RT embedded into MediaLab not collecting data or playing wav files (case 6864)

Jensen,

My apologies for not getting to your download in time. I saw in a previous email that you uploaded 140-MB of files. As instructed in the email, I went to www.yousendit.com (what a very useful site, btw) to pick up the files but the link had expired. Is there any chance you could re-upload so I can take a look?

There are different issues that can affect tasks utilizing independent probe events (i.e., in terms of the symptoms you have described above). As we discussed before, I think it will be most useful to see the files and I'll be sure to get there ASAP so as not to miss them.

One question in the meantime though--did you try the probe samples that are available here on the forums (and elsewhere)? I'm curious to know if they work on your system because I haven't heard of any problems before with v2008 running probe tasks before. If they *do* work, then we can simply look for the differences between the samples (that work) and whatever is different in your input files/probe events.

PS., I do think it's quite likely that the file size caused the upload error on the forum. Note sure, but I think the upload limit is somewhere around 10mb.

PS., the link to the MediaLab probe task samples and documentation can be found here:

Additionally, if you search on "probe" here in the forums, you can find additional postings some of which contains troubleshooting experiences with other users conducting these types of experiments. In fact, I just went through some of them and notice there was at least one Windows Vista related issue--are you running this on XP Vista or Windows 7?

YouSendIt records confirm your email from 3/31 that you downloaded the documents before the 14 day expiration.

Well I am in fact very much wrong--my apologies. My support folders also confirm that I downloaded the files (I found the zip and the unzipped contents which I had actually gone through (!) upon receipt). And in looking at them, I do recall, also, not being able to find an easy solution. That's not unusual, but it is unusual to not get back to it and keep working on it. If there is any value in pursing a fix here, please let me know and I'll continue trying to figure out what's going wrong. Otherwise, I'll try to find a fix anyways just in case someone else comes across this thread having the same issue.
