Standard Standalone? (y/n) Yes
What are you trying to achieve?: I want to determine whether I can skip measuring frame rate of screen in situations when I am repeatedly re-running an experiment to test minor adjustments.
What did you try to make it work?:
• Changed refresh rate from adaptive (ProMotion) to constant (60 Hz).
• Specified my laptop’s size and screen width in monitor centre. Specified this monitor in the ‘Screen’ section of my experiment’s properties menu.
What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:
Running the experiment still presents the following message 'Attempting to measure frame rate of scree, please wait… ’
Console output:

My Question:
From my attempts with PsychToolBox in MATLAB, I’ve come to appreciate that Apple Silicon computers have compatibility issues with most psychophysics-related software. Thus, I’m wondering whether there is a setting I can change that would skip having to see this message each time I boot up an experiment.
