This menu item allows to save the current experiment.
Save as
This menu item allows to save the current experiment in the specified folder.
Open
This menu item allows to open an existing experiment.
Open Recent
This menu item allows to open a recently accessed experiment file by picking it from the list. It is also possible to pin the experiment to this panel for quick access.
New

Preferences
| Name | Description | Default settings |
|---|
| General |
| Cleanup Period (days) | All the data collected with EventIDE is automatically stored and can be accessed through Run History. The cleanup period is the time period when the application gives notifications to delete all run history and associated data to prevent low disk space. | 30 days |
| Open last file on startup | If "true" is selected, the application will automatically load the most recently edited experiment at startup. | True |
| Checking for updates: | Defines the period of auto-checks for application updates. | Once a week |
| Notify on runtime errors | If "true" is selected the application gives a notification after non-critical run-time errors and warnings. | True |
| Monitor selection |
| Stimulus screen | Defines the monitor for stimulus presentation | Auto selection |
| Status screen | Defines the monitor for the EventIDE status screen. | Auto selection |
| Code editor |
| Code Analysis | Defines whether the automatic code analysis in enabled in the code editor. The code analysis generates warnings on detected errors, right while you type code. Disabling the code analysis may increase the GUI performance on slow PCs. | True |
| Font | Defines the font in the code editors. | Default font |
| Background | Defines the background color in the code editors | White |
| Text Color | Defines the text color in the code editors. | Black |
| GUI settings |
| GUI Animation | Turns off to get better performance on slow PCs. | True. |
| Auto-expanding layers | Define whether the event sub-layers are automatically expanded in the quick navigation bar, after the parent event is selected in the event panel. | False |
| Relevant properties filter | Defines the filtering mode for the property panel. If the filter is on, only the relevant properties of objects are shown in the first selection. If the filter is off, all the properties are shown, which can result in slower GUI performance during the selection of the properties. | True |
Gamma
This menu item allows to enable gamma correction of the monitor. Enable gamma correction, if you want to linearize the RGB-to-luminance mapping for the stimulus monitor. The gamma correction is estimated automatically once you specify the actual non-linear gamma profile of your monitor. There are two ways to specify the gamma-profile:
- You can empirically measure and build the monitor profile for each of the RGB levels and then copy normalized values into the monitor gamma profile.
- Alternatively, you can generate an approximate monitor profile with custom arguments of the power function. If enabled, the gamma correction (will be automatically estimated and applied at the start of every experiment in the full-screen mode).
