Lab Computers
Introduction
The lab computers at SSH Leiden are managed by the ISSC and have their own lab environment installed. Currently, most lab computers have one of the following environment:
- Lab Proefleider (Acquisition PC)
- Lab Proefpersoon (Stimulus PC)
All lab computers have a folder on the C: drive called ExperimentData. For best performance, it is recommended to run experimental tasks from this local folder. Make sure to move the data to the J: drive (network drive) at the end of each day and to remove the data from C:\ExperimentData.
When you are unsure on the correct procedures of using lab pc's, please contact labsupport@fsw.leidenuniv.nl or contact your lab coordinator.
See the Software list for information on which software is installed on the lab computers.
Lab Proefleider and Lab Proefpersoon
The Lab Proefleider environment is installed on the Acquisition PC. The experimenter logs into this computer with their own account. Software such as AcqKnowledge or Actiview can be run from this PC.
The Lab Proefpersoon environment is installed on the Stimulus PC. This PC is generally used to present the participant with a task. This PC has an autologon. Software such as E-Prime, OpenSesame or Tobii Pro Lab can be run from this PC
