Expyriment test suite
=====================
The Expyriment test suite is a guided tool for testing your computer's
abilities/performance. This includes timing accuracy of visual stimulus
presentation, audio playback functionality, mouse functionality and serial port
functionality/usage.
Eventually, all test results can be saved as a protocol, together with some
information about the system.
**Starting the test suite**
The test suite can either be started from within an experiment, or from an
interactive Python session (for instance with IPython).
To start the test suite, just call::
expyriment.control.run_test_suite()
**Menu overview**
Here is a brief explanation of the available options:
1. *Visual stimulus presentation*
* Tests if stimuli can be presented timing accurately
* Tests if stimulus presentation is synchronized to the refresh rate of the
screen
* Tests the video card's settings for buffering
2. *Auditory stimulus presentation*
* Tests functionality of audio playback
3. *Font viewer*
* Test installed fonts
4. *Mouse test*
* Tests mouse accuracy (polling time)
* Tests functionality of mouse buttons
5. *Serial port test*
* Tests functionality of devices connected via the serial port
6. *Write protocol*
* Saves all test results, as well as information about the system, as a text
file.
7. *Quit*
* Quits the test suite
