I'm very new to E-Prime but have managed to create an experiment successfully. I now need to pair the computer displaying the stimuli with a scanning computer so that certain stimuli presented are time-stamped onto the scanning computer as markers. I thought the Parallel Port Configure sample guide would help. As required, I have copied and pasted all of the script into the User Script section of my experiment.

Where do I go from here? Do I then need to add an InLine script such as ConfigurePortForOutput at a point just before the target stimulus (i.e. the stimulus which I want time-stamped onto the recording computer)? I would assume so, but the guide doesn't seem to be explicit on how to/where I need to place this script.

Also, I tried running the script but it has the error: [Unknown function "GetPortType"] at the * point below:

__________________________

' Find out what type of parallel port is configured on the system

Dim nPortType As Long

nPortType = GetPortType*(PORT_ADDRESS)

___________________________

Lastly, I've been trying to make sense of the guide "1320 - INFO: General Parallel Port Information" page and I'm not sure if I need to manually toggle the cable before I configure it in the software.

As you may have guessed I'm a bit of a newbie and I'd really appreciate some help! Thanks!

Rach.
