“E-Prime Extensions for Tobii Starter Program”
As part of our Tobii Integration package, PST would like to offer some of our customers specialassistance in developing a near approximation of their initial paradigm using E-Prime and E-PrimeExtensions for Tobii.The purpose behind the “E-Prime Extensions for Tobii Starter Program” is to provide a simplesample paradigm which is similar to the family of experiments that you will eventually develop. Thehope is that this sample will provide an early system test, a proof of concept of your experimentaldesign and an example of one possible implementation. You will have access to additional E-Primerelated support via E-Prime Web Support throughout the development of this paradigm as well as afterits completion.The offer to help you create a paradigm is somewhat open ended. Complexity and timelinesmust be carefully managed. Therefore, we require you to follow the guidelines below. PST reserves theright to accept or reject paradigms at our discretion.
1)
 
Designate Liaison:
.(a)
 
Register for E-Prime Web Support by navigating to the following website:http://www.pstnet.com/e-prime/support/register/register.asp. To register forSupport, you will need a valid email address and your E-Prime serial number.(b)
 
Or, if you are already registered for Support, you may navigate to the Web Supportlogin page:http://www.pstnet.com/e-prime/support/login.asp (c)
 
Assign a single contact person who will work with PST on your paradigm bysubmitting a support request with a title of “Starter Program Inquiry.” Please alsoinclude your name, institution, and contact information. Please take this step evenif you are the liaison(d)
 
Once you have completed these steps, you will have access to a number of resources including one-on-one technical support, a knowledge base with manyfrequently asked questions, and a number of sample paradigms.(e)
 
 You will use PST Web Support to work with PST in the development of yourparadigm. This assures good record keeping and timely responses to yourquestions. Instructions on how to start the process will be given to you when youverify that the self-training is complete.
2)
 
Training:
In order to speed the development of your paradigm we ask that your assigned liaisonhas taken the following steps to become familiar with the E-Prime design environmentand the special “E-Prime Extensions for Tobii” features. This background will also allowyour lab to create and deploy subsequent paradigms more effectively. Please verify that this self-training has occurred before proceeding to Step 3 below. We will be glad toanswer questions that arise as you walk through the materials.
Please note: if it becomes clear that the Liaison has not completed this self-training, we reserve theright to suspend work on the project until this requirement has been fulfilled.
(a)
 
Complete the
E-Prime Getting Started Guide
as it will provide a great deal of practical information including a step-by-step 2 hour tutorial covering key concepts.
 
This Getting Started Guide can be found in electronic format on your E-Primeinstallation CD.(b)
 
Skim through the topics covered in the E-Prime User’s Guide and the E-PrimeReference Guide and become familiar with the resources that you can find there.(c)
 
Read the E-Prime Extensions for Tobii Manuali.
 
The manual can be found in electronic format on your E-PrimeExtensions for Tobii installation CD.ii.
 
Please complete installation and setup.iii.
 
IMPORTANT: Verify that you have installed and tested using the TETFixedPositionAOI test paradigm located atMyDocuments/MyExperiments/Tobii/Samples/TET/TETFixedPositionAOI. This provides a system check of your setupand insures that you have a fully functioning paradigm installed.
3)
 
Specify your experiment
(a)
 
PST is offering to assist with a single “Starter Paradigm.” We require that youspecify the most generic case of the family of paradigms which you hope to use inyour research. This will allow us to create a versatile starter experiment for yourgroup.(b)
 
The Starter Program is intended to assist with Tobii/E-Prime paradigm development.It is not intended to assist with complex or highly specialized E-Prime programming concepts. PST reserves the right to direct the user to other resources for furtherhelp.(c)
 
It is the case that not all paradigms are tenable and/or achievable within areasonable time frame. You will receive feedback on the feasibility of yourspecification after it is received and reviewed by the Starter Program staff.(d)
 
 You will be required to complete the “Starter Program Application Form” and the“Starter Program Questionnaire” which are included with this letter. (If you have notreceived the forms, please contactPST Web Support(see 1b) as it is necessary tocontinue with the Starter Program process.) By filling out these documents, you willprovide our staff with a better understanding of the experiment and to help us todetermine a timeline.
4)
 
Submit the paradigm specification to PST Web Support5)
 
What happens next?
(a)
 
PST Starter Program staff will review all submitted materials. During the reviewprocess, you will be contacted with questions or clarifications regarding yourparadigm. This is an interactive process between the Starter Program staff andyour liaison which requires timely responses to progress at a reasonable pace.
 Please note: If we deem the liaison is non-responsive at any point during the Starter Program, PST reserves the right to terminate your site’s participation in the Starter Program and cease paradigmdevelopment.
(b)
 
Once the review process is complete and the paradigm is approved, you will beformally notified of your acceptance into the Starter Program and will receive anestimated completion date for your paradigm. All estimates and product deliverydates are dependent upon agreed specifications. Any changes to the specificationswill result in modifications to our timeline estimates, deadlines, and delivery dates.
