Software for Language Sampling

Queue Form

User-defined settings are entered using the Settings Form, shown on the right.

The user may enter values for the recording length, Interval, and the number of cycles, and subject ID. In addition, the Pass Code used to unlock the device is also entered. Finally, the location for storing the recordings is set.

Soft Input Panel

The PocketPC's "Soft Input Panel" (SIP) is used to enter settings values. Use the stylus to tap in the box corresponding to a particular setting and then tap on the little keyboard symbol in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. The Soft Input Panel will pop up and you can use it to enter values. Once a value is entered, tap the keyboard symbol again to make the SIP go away.

Note that you can not tab between fields. Use the stylus to tap in each field for which you wish to enter a setting.

 


 

Save Settings and Restore Defaults Buttons

Once all settings are entered, the "Save Settings" button is pressed once to save the settings in the PocketEAR program directory. The next time the application is started the previously save settings will be loaded and used.

The "Restore Settings" button can be pressed to enter preset values for the settings. Note that all setting values will be overwritten with default values if the button is pressed.

 


 

File Storage Location

There are three predefined and one user-defined location where recording files are stored. A drop-down box is provided to select among these locations. The Windows directory path is shown below the file storage location chosen.

The predefined locations are on the device's Secure Digital (SD) card, Compact Flash (CF) card, and PocketEAR Program File Location. If a SD or CF card is available, the software will create a folder on the card labeled "PocketEAR" and store the files in that location. If a SD or CF card are not available, the software will create a directory at the top-level of the PocketPC's file structure labeled SD Card or CF Card depending on the location you choose.

 

A "User Defined" file storage location can also be chosen. If this option is chosen, a text input box appears so that the user can input the directory path for the files to be stored within. The path is entered using the Soft Input Panel and must conform to standard Windows directory naming conventions.

In the event that an invalid path is entered, the software will attempt to correct the path name and enter it in the text box. A warning will be displayed if this occurrs.


 

Input Errors

The recording length, interval, number of cycles, subject ID, and Pass Code must all be of the correct type when entered, The correct types are integer, decimal, integer, alpha-numeric, and integer, respectively. If an incorrect type is entered and the Settings button pushed, the software will display a warning like the one on the right and replace the invalid entry with a default value.
