E-Prime 3.0
Detail
NOTE: While tests may have passed on older operating systems, PST recommends running on a valid supported version of Windows unless the machine is run offline or on a closed network.
The E-Prime 3.0 timing article is dedicated to issues regarding critical timing using E-Prime 3.0 software. The data is presented by operating system and covers Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows 11.
E-Prime 3.0 millisecond accuracy
E-Prime 3.0 reports timing accuracy to the millisecond precision level. Although E-Prime coordinates with the operating system and external devices to continually have control of the computer's execution, the operating system or other devices can take control at any time. This will cause an experiment to be suspended while the operating system task is completed. When these instances occur, E-Prime continues to accurately timestamp so that post-analysis can filter the trials correctly.
E-Prime 3.0 and Operating System compatibility
As stated above, E-Prime reports timing accuracy to the millisecond precision level. What exactly does this mean? For example, in the ClockBinTest experiment used to verify and evaluate subject station timing capabilities, an E-Prime 3.0 supported machine is likely to have a larger maximum missed tick, but less of them in comparison to the same machine running an unsupported version of E-Prime 3.0. Using the 1% rule, almost all machines that meet the system recommendations will be capable of collecting critical trial data. PST encourages all machines expected to collect subject data to run the ClockBinTest to verify their ability to collect critical trial data. For more information, please consult OVERVIEW: Timing in E-Prime [23285].
Timing Benchmarks
Not all devices are created equal. PST has undergone a number of timing tests with a number of keyboards and mice. Our preliminary timing tests have shown a wide range of variability between devices of the same class. Sound cards are even more prone to the same variability. Please check back to this section as updated timing benchmark results will be posted for the devices/machines that PST has tested. See the tables below for some of the results we have found.
E-Prime 3.0 Update 2 (3.0.3.80 / 3.0.3.80a) Stimulus Device Response Timing Values
Data for E-Prime 3.0 Update 2 was collected using Chronos instead of BBTK. In house testing concluded that Chronos was just as accurate for firing the response simulation values as BBTK. The BBTK was validated against the same results for Chronos and data was the same. The experiment used presented a stimulus object for 200 trials. Chronos sent a pulse to the response device 100 ms into the presentation of the Stimulus object which caused the response device to respond. To verify the data, the .edat3 recorded the Mean, Standard Deviation, Maximum response, and Minimum responses.

E-Prime 3.0 Update 1 (3.0.3.60) Stimulus Device Response Timing Values
Data was collected in a similar manner to the E-Prime 3.0 (3.0.3.31) data. However, the experiment presented a stimulus object for 200 trials. A pulse was sent to BBTK at the OnsetTime of the stimulus object. BBTK responded 100ms later. To verify the data, the data (.edat3) file was compared to the BBTK event data.
The Black Box Toolkit was used to collect and fire the response simulation values.

Sound Startup Latency Tests
E-Prime 3.0 reports millisecond accurate timing. This does not mean that E-Prime 3.0 is capable of making hardware do things it cannot. For experiment paradigms that require auditory stimuli, much care and concern should be considered with the hardware being used. Sound cards can have good or poor startup latency. Startup latency is the time from when E-Prime tells the sound card to play a sound to when the sound actually emits from the sound card or speakers. Not all sound cards are created equal. Results can also depend on the selected sound card driver and selected API (application programming interface). E-Prime 3.0 allows for the option of selecting the Chronos, DirectSound, ASIO or CoreAudio APIs. This is because the API with the lowest possible sound latency for a particular sound card may be used.
To determine the best API for your hardware, please see the charts below or use our Sound Tester program as detailed in this article: INFO: Use of SoundTester to determine machine compatibility with ASIO or Core Audio/WASAPI [18834].
PST encourages using external equipment to determine the startup latency of your sound card. For E-Prime 3.0 (3.0.3.31) tests, we collected data using a Black Box Toolkit version 2 (BBTK v2) connected to various computers. Each experiment computer generated a sound as well as a parallel port pulse that was detected by the BBTK's microphone and line in respectively. There were a total of 18 sounds and port pulses collected for each session. The experiment paradigm used white noise files that were set to 2 channels, 16 bit, and 44.1Khz. The parallel port pulse was sent at the start of the SoundOut object in the experiment paradigm. Since parallel port pulses have been shown to have extremely low latency, the receipt of this pulse represented the time that the sound was sent from E-Prime to Windows for processing. This was compared to the time that the BBTKv2 received the sound through the experiment computer's speakers. The difference in these two times represented the sound startup latency, that is, the amount of time that Windows, the sound card, and the speakers processed the sound before it was audible.
For E-Prime 3.0 Update 1 and Update 2 (3.0.3.60, 3.0.3.80) tests, we collected data using a Chronos connected to various computers. Internal testing has shown that Chronos is just as effective as BBTK v2 in validating sound latency. In these tests, the computer's sound output is configured to go into Chronos's Sound In. 1000 trials occured in which the experiment played white noise.
