FSW Lab PC's

The lab computers at FSW Leiden are managed by the ISSC and have their own lab environment installed. Currently, most lab computers have one of the following environment:

  • Lab FSW
  • Lab Proefleider (experimenter)
  • Lab Proefpersoon (participant)

All lab computers have a folder on the C: drive called ExperimentData. For best performance, it is recommended to run experimental tasks from this local folder. Make sure to move the data to the J: drive (network drive) at the end of each day and to remove the data from C:\ExperimentData.

When you are unsure on the correct procedures of using lab pc's, please contact labsupport@fsw.leidenuniv.nl or contact your lab coordinator.

See the Software list for information on which software is installed on the lab computers.

Lab Proefleider and Lab Proefpersoon

Other labs than mentioned above at Lab FSW have a Lab Proefleider or Lab Proefpersoon environment.

The Lab Proefleider environment is usually installed on the pc for the experiment. The experimenter logs into this computer with their own account. Software such as AcqKnowledge or Actiview can be run from this pc.

The Lab Proefpersoon environment is installed on the pc for the participant. This pc has an autologon. Software such as E-Prime, OpenSesame or Tobii Pro Lab can be run from this pc.
