EXP programs

Introduction

EXP programs are MATLAB programs for each lab based on the EXP framework. The EXP framework is a MATLAB toolbox developed by Ruurd Lof. The framework is a collection of classes and functions that are the basis for Lab programs.

Standard Lab program

An example of a Lab program is the TestLabProgram. All programs have the same basic structure:

Six objects (TestLab classes are starting with TL_) are created in a fixed order and linked by passing references to the objects.

   programPar      = TL_programParameters(version);
   hardwareSystems = TL_hardwareSystems(programPar);                      
   experiment      = TL_experiment(programPar);             
   trialRecordings = TL_recordingsHandler(programPar, experiment, hardwareSystems);     
   player          = TL_experimentPlayer(hardwareSystems, trialRecordings, programPar, experiment);
   guihandler      = TL_guiHandler(player, programPar, experiment, hardwareSystems);

At last a GUI is launched with a link to the guihandler object.

   TL_Gui(guihandler);
