Input file style error message (case 18341)

  1. #1

    Input file style error message (case 18341)

    I created a new input file for a new study I am running, but when I try to run the file, an error message appears saying "Row 4 requests style file 0, which does not exist in the style file (.drt) for this session." The thing is, the number in the style column in row 4 is 1 (as it is for all trials in this input file) so I am not sure what is going on here. Any help would be appreciated!

    Try removing the double quotation marks in any cell of the !Auditory column and see if that resolves the error message when you run the AK "Run.csv" file.

    Thank you. That suggestion worked. However, I have a few new problems.

    1) I need to increase the display size of the animations I am showing (.avi files) and I am not sure how to do that. Right now, the animations play in the center of the screen and they are small; most of the screen is black around the animations. How do I increase the size of the animations on the screen? I can't seem to find where in the manual it talks about how to do this.

    2) I am using DirectRT on a laptop and plan on displaying the stimuli on a larger touchscreen monitor connected by a USB and HDMI cable. The input file ran perfectly on my laptop alone (aside from wanting a bigger stimulus display as noted above), but when I plugged the USB and HDMI cables into the laptop and ran the input file, it ran, but all my text stimuli were not present. My image and animation stimuli run just fine, but the text stimuli just isn't there. I then unplugged the USB and HDMI cable and tried to run it off my laptop again and now the text wont display on my laptop either!!!

    3) I have programed a touch.txt file as specified in the touchscreen instructions (file attached). I basically just split the screen in half vertically to have 2 potential touch response options. However, when I try to run trials on the touchscreen monitor, when I touch anywhere in the stimulus display area, the touches do not register. The strange thing is, when I touch outside of the stimulus display (the black area just around the display area where the animations play), the touches register as they should. It's almost like the animation display is preventing the touches from registering in that specific area.

    Any help would be appreciated!!18071808
