Problem with output files (case 8614)

[jason_reed]

It would seem like the problem lies in the input file you made. I looked at it and the 3 output files you attached and noticed that the missing data was for block 1 (trials 1-40). Can you try the following and let me know if the data record correctly?

1) Create and run a new input file without block 1 in it.
2) Create and run a new input file without the first break (row 28 in the original).

Can you also send me a zip file with all of your original stimlists and any stimulus materials? I'd like to try running your experiment on my computer to see if I can replicate this error.

Thanks. I'm going to run the input files with your suggestions tomorrow at the lab and will let you know what happens ASAP. I've attached a file with all my stim, etc.

Hi again,
I ran the GNG files making the changes you suggested.
(1) When I deleted block 1, everything appeared to record properly in the output files.
(2) When I deleted the first break (line 28), everything also recorded properly.
Thanks,
Marie

Hi Marie,

Thanks for letting me know that. So would you be able to run the experiment as you intended if you just deleted row 28 from the original input file?

I ran 3 "participants' with just line 28 deleted, and I've attached the output files - just as before, each participant had a different number of trials record. Any thoughts? I also attached the input files. Thanks!

mariegood,

Did you ever receive a message at the end of the one your sessions in which data did not record asking you to take a look at the TrackPerformance.txt file? If so, can you please find it in the DirectRT folder and send me a copy of what it says?

Thanks!

Would you be able to send us the input files that DirectRT created with specific values in the time cells for the ~+ and ~ stimuli? There would be six files that start with gn1_gojuice and ended with _xx, with xx being the participant number used for that session. So you would have files named gn1_gojuice__08, gn1_gojuice__49, gn1_gojuice__30, gn1_gojuice__05, gn1_gojuice__06, and gn1_gojuice__07.
