Run-time Control Panel Display Settings

The Run-time Control Panel is the dialog displayed to the experimenter when an experiment is being run. The settings in this dialog control what information about any particular phase, trial, or stimulus is displayed at run-time to the experimenter. These settings have no effect on the stimuli displayed to the subject.

Below are two images of the run-time control panel, each with different Run-time Control Panel Display Settings. If you are concerned about an experimenter being biased by the particular stimulus being displayed, for example, you can un-check all the settings. These settings ensure that all experimenters will see the same information for all experimental subjects.
