== Introduction ==
AAT was created by [https://organisatiegids.ru.nl/tabProfiel.aspx?isEngels=true&RBSID=305174 Prof. Mike Rinck]. He writes the following for people who want to use it:


Changing the file path within groupxxx.txt


== Pictures ==
People who want to run experiments with the AAT (or joystick task, for short), have three possibiilties:


Changing the path groupxxx.txt
They can use our own little Visual Basic program. In that case, they should contact me for help and instructions. They then have the choice:


== Recommended Resolution ==
# They can use a demo experiment I programmed, and adapt it to their needs.
# If I find their study interesting, they can have me as a collaborator, then I take care of the programming. <p>These two alternatives create the additional complication that the task does not run immediately under Windows 7 or 8 (it was programmed for Windows XP). As far as I know, this is no problem in the BSI lab because Chi installed everything necessary there. It may be a (solveable) problem outside the BSI lab, though.</p>
# Alternatively, they can go to [http://www.millisecond.com www.millisecond.com] and download an Inquisit script of a joystick task, and then adapt that script to their needs. As far as I know, this script is the only working alternative to our own program. Other programs (e.g., E-Prime) cannot do the critical dynamic zoom function (pictures grow and shrink when you pull and push the joystick).


1024x768
== Details ==
=== Group Files ===


== Directx 7 Components ==
The path to the group files can be changed within the groupxxx.txt file.
You can open the file with any editor.


dx7vb.dll
=== Pictures ===
 
You can change the path within the groupxxx.txt file.
The file can be opened in any editor.
 
=== Recommended Resolution ===
 
The '''default resolution''' of the AAT program is set on '''1024x768''' on a '''Aspect Ratio of 4:3'''.
The Monitor need to be set on '''"Aspect"'''
 
Higher resolutions will result that the pictures are not alligned in the centre.
 
=== Directx 7 Components ===
 
To make use of the '''Logitech Attack 3''' controller within '''Windows 7''', you need to install the following DLL:
 
*'''dx7vb.dll'''
 
For installation instructions you can go [[JoySticks#Installation|'''here''']]
