The JAVA Dispatcher

Running Workstation View

The Dispatcher runs on subject workstations and is invisible except during start up. It is represented on the Experimenter's Console as shown above. This representation is called the workstation view. It is decorated with identification information including the subject's name and location.

The workstation view presents a scrollable, tabular view of the upcoming schedule of tasks. This is adjusted each time a new task is started on the work station.

The image of the PC and monitor uses text and colour to indicate the status of the task that is currently active. Status information for each Dispatcher is shown graphically on the Console toolbar.



The experimenter can control the Dispatcher by operating on the VCR control to the left of the PC and can also change the status of upcoming tasks by manipulating the schedule.
