/ frequency = integer

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
integer	integer	A positive integer specifying the frequency in hz.

Remarks

Although there is no theoretical limit to high the frequency can be set, there may be practical limits to how fast Inquisit can capture and record data on a given device. The default is 60 hz.

Examples

The following dataStream captures mouse coordinates at a frequency of 75 hz.

<dataStream mousetracking>
/ columns = (date, time, subject, dataStream.mousetracking.elapsedTime, trialcode, stimulusItem, stimulusItem, mouse.x, mouse.y)
/ frequency = 75
</dataStream>
