Feedback Time Settings for Games
To modify feedback parameters from the default preset values, click Score at the
bottom of the screen, then the Modify Settings button in the left toolbar.
In the Properties window you can set the number of steps to complete a screen,
specify time intervals, and setup feedback sounds.
The top time variable, Steps to Score, is the number of success state intervals
required to complete a set (fill the Score indicator bar). An appropriate number
Steps to Score is determined by the type of game being used. Some games
require a fixed number of steps to operate properly and, in many cases, the
number of steps will be preset by the game. We recommend you accept these
default values.
The Response Time Per Step is the length of time in seconds that all thresholds
must be continuously green to generate a step in the game and move one stepincrement
on the Score indicator bar. The client must keep signals within
threshold parameters for the interval you set in order for feedback to occur.
Response Time Per Step is normally set from .25 to .5 of a second.
The Timeout Between Steps is the dead time after a step has been completed.
The Timeout between steps is normally set from 0 to 1 second.
Timeout After Score is the timeout after a set has been completed.
Feedback Sound Settings for Games
The sounds associated with Score are selectable from pull-down lists and can be
individually turned on and off for the following functions:
Start New Game sound occurs once only at the start of a Score set. An
example would be a game whistle.
Response Start sound is played any time all of the thresholds are
simultaneously green with no time delay. It indicates that the threshold
conditions have been met. This sound should be short (less than the Response
Time Per Step).
Response Complete sound occurs when all of the thresholds have been held
for the required time (Response Time Per Step). This occurs at the same time
that the feedback display is triggered.
Score sound occurs at the end of a Score set (Score Bar filled - feedback display
completed)
