custom sequences or functions with default parameters

[Bala_S]

Hello!

Using the Stimulus Profile Editor, I am finding that using a sequence within a sequence to be cumbersome.  This is because it requires you to declare in the main sequence, every parameter that the sub-sequence will use.

I would like to have a 'configure' sequence whose parameters are all default and do not need to be declared or passed through by every sequence that calls it. Right now, if I change one argument of the 'configure' sequence I have to go to every sequence that references it, and update the parameters and the sequence call.

Essentially, I would just like an independent  subfuction that has no inputs and returns a few outputs. If the profile editor is not capable of this, what would be my next best option?

Thanks!

Hello,

You can take advantage of the new features in NIVS 2014 to help against re-defining default values for your RT Sequences. Take a look at the documentation in 2014 which explains in more detail how you can use channel references in your sequences:

By using channel references, you won't have to re-set default parameters. Let me know if you have any questions. 

Sincerely,
