Description of .ini file settings

[Settings]
; specifies type of attenuator
; 1 = software
; 2 = KC35 Audiometer, controlled using serial cable
; 3 = PA5 - not yet implemented
Attenuator=1                 ;hardware available 1 indicates use programs software scaling
Debug=1                       ;for authors use only
Modulated=1                 ;1 = tone amplitude modulated to make it easier to distinguish (0 = unmodulated)
ModFreq=8                   ;modulation frequency - whole number of cycles must fit in ToneDuration
ToneDuration=500         ;tone duration in ms
MaskerDuration=700     ;masker duration - task easier if this is longer than ToneDuration
ISI=200                         ;inter-stimulus interval (added in version 1.1.14 - default 200)
RiseFall=20                   ;rise/fall for masker & tone (added in version 1.1.14 - default 20)

[Tests]
N_Cond=3                    ;gives the number of PTCs that can be run from this file
CalibFactor=100            ;defines the sound level for zero attenuation

[Cond1]
ToneF=1000                 ;tone frequency
StartF=500                    ;starting masker frequency
EndF=2000                   ;ending masker frequency
FStep=5                        ;sweep step size in Hz
MaskerBW=200            ;narrow-band masker bandwidth
SPLstep=3                    ;stepsize for masker level adjustment
MaxSPL=80                  ;maximum masker SPL
ToneSPL=30                 ;tone level
MaskStartSPL=30         ;masker start level
;(note, start masker low so that subject can get used to tone - frequency sweep doesn't start until after the first few reversals)
