Experiment Settings
In versions prior to 2025.1.0, one of the most important menu items didn’t actually appear in any of the menus. You could only access it with a mouse by clicking on the cog icon.
From 2025.1.0 onwards it is also accessible from the Experiment menu and via a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-Shift-X)
Experiment Settings itself has seven tabs.
General is used to define expInfo dialogue box variables and set the PsychoPy version (leave blank unless you have a reason to want an earlier version).
Screen is used to show the mouse, define the background colour and select the units.
Online is used to set the completed URL ad End Message and attach resources.
Input is used to set the keyboard backend (if a simple experiment fails try switching between ioHub and PsychToolbox).
Data is used to set the column order (change to column priority or alphabetical if the default doesn’t work for you. Changing the data filename doesn’t work online.
