User-defined task #4 (Save)

This task saves task parameters when clicking "SavePara" or "Start" button by the following parameters.



=======================================================================================================================
       if GetSaveTrgStat() == 1:    # If save trigger is activated
           # Parameters will be saved into a folder named "ParametersForTask90"
           Str="ParametersForTask"+str(GetTaskID())   # Substitute save folder path
           if os.path.exists(Str) == False:    # If save folder doesn't exist
               os.mkdir(Str)   # Create the folder

           with open(Str+'/MaxCorrectNum.dat', 'wb') as PickleInst[GetTaskID()]:
               pickle.dump(MaxCorrectNumVar.get(),PickleInst[GetTaskID()])     # Save a value of "MaxCorrectNumVar" as "MaxCorrectNum.dat" file

           with open(Str+'/TimeLimit.dat', 'wb') as PickleInst[GetTaskID()]:
               pickle.dump(TimeLimitVar.get(),PickleInst[GetTaskID()])

           with open(Str+'/LickDur.dat', 'wb') as PickleInst[GetTaskID()]:
               pickle.dump(LickDurVar.get(), PickleInst[GetTaskID()])

if GetSaveTrgStat() == 1:    # If save trigger is activated

When "SavePara" or "Start" button is clicked, SaveTrg,aOperantHouse's internal variable, is set to "1" and  this value can be obtained with GetSaveTrgStat().The above code check the value of SaveTrg every frame and if the value is "1", it executes the following code to save the parameters.


Str="ParametersForTask"+str(GetTaskID())   # Substitute save folder path
if os.path.exists(Str) == False:    # If save folder doesn't exist
   os.mkdir(Str)   # Create the folder

Before the saving, it checks if the save folder is exist and if not, it creates the folder.


with open(Str+'/MaxCorrectNum.dat', 'wb') as PickleInst[GetTaskID()]:
   pickle.dump(MaxCorrectNumVar.get(),PickleInst[GetTaskID()])     # Save a value of "MaxCorrectNumVar" as "MaxCorrectNum.dat" file

This code creates MaxCorrectNum.datwhich contains the value ofMaxCorrectNumVar.We need to useget()function to get the value because type of thisvariable is IntVar.


The same process is repeated to save values of TimiLim and LickDur.
