Hi Duncan,
We are curious if there is a way to minimize the robot task without stopping the robot program from running. We have a reaching task (with a touchscreen) that we have setup to run on the tv monitor that the robot uses that we would like subjects to perform in addition to the robot task. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Brandon

Hello Brandon,
First, let me apologize profusely for your question remaining unanswered this long! Since we have switched to this new web site we have been experiencing some troubles and we were not notified of your question being posted. By all means, if there is ever a delay in responding to you in the future please email us directly at our support email address.
If a task is stopped you can use ctrl-s ("show subject display" menu item) to turn on or off the subject display. While a task is running there is no perfectly safe way to do this. If turning on and off the subject display is a critical requirement for you please email us directly so we can set up a Customer Request in our internal systems.
Again, I'm very sorry for the delay in response.

Hello!
I had a similar question. I am looking to minimize the display without having to constantly stop/start running a task. Since this question was posted, has there been a way to quickly minimize/swap displays added to Dexterit-e?
Thanks,
Will
Hi Will,
We have not added any specific features for this. Just to understand, you are running a task and want to show something else on the display mid-task? If no task is running then in Dexterit-E ctrl-s will close the display program.
It is possible to plug into a different input on the subject display, then use either the remote control or the buttons on the display to change the input the display is using. Though this depends on which type of subject display you are using. Standard 60 Hz displays (typically LG) should work (with caveats), 120 Hz displays (VPixx) will not have extra inputs. The caveats on the standard displays are: we do not quantify performance on inputs we don’t use so we can’t say if they will perform well, we only set up the brightness etc on the input we use.
All the best,
Duncan
