Frequent Crashes of E-prime 3.0 During the Use of StimTracker Quad for Sending Triggers in EEG Experiments

[NoahCUI]

Hi All!! I'm facing difficulties with StimTracker Quad while sending triggers for EEG's ERP experiments designed with E-prime 3.0.

I followed the official tutorial for trigger code settings(https://cedrus.com/support/stimtracker/eprime3.htm), but the program crashes without error prompts whenever a trigger picture appears.The issue seems to be with the trigger code, as removing it lets the program run smoothly. Even if the program runs successfully a few times, it still crashes after restarting the computer,often before the second trigger image....

If you need further information, please feel free to contact me. Thanks for your help!

And some of the tutorial's code appears redundant (https://cedrus.com/support/stimtracker/eprime3.htm)  , as deleting code related to PulseStimTracker1 and only keeping PulseStimTracker2 code in the User Script didn't impact trigger sending(And the whole program ran successfully once), yet the program still crashed after a restart. Insufficient memory is unlikely the cause.

The following pictures are the connection methods of the laboratory's StimTracker.

Hi All,

Thanks for your attention!

I posted my solution here

Yesterday, I attempted to replace the "task event" functionality(used for sending triggers in EEG experiments) in E-prime 3.0 (3.0.3.214) with E-basic .The program ran successfully 12 times, so I believe the issue may have been resolved. 

I hope these will be helpful. As I'm new to this, I may not have everything perfect just yet, but I warmly welcome any additional feedback :)
