PETRA - Plateau d’Etudes Techniques et de Recherche en Audition

Version 0.3.15x

(where is the O.3.14 version ? nowhere ! :-)

WARNING : see below

Add :

 The option "Random Button Order on Screen Test" is ON (yeah !).

If you choose this option, all the stimuli button are randomly sorted on the screen for the sorting task, differently for each participant. The name of the button still the same as before, each name have the same sound through the participant, only the place of the button change.

Changed :

 "action rate" on the first screen values : added 50 and 100 but 200 remain the default value.

 WARNING : for consistency purpose, I add an alphabetic sorting of the list of the sounds. This sort function doesn’t exist on older version.

The result is that this TCL-LabX version can be used only for new tests.

If you want to use an older config file, simply save it with another name and use it in a new campaign.
