OpenSesameRun (no GUI)
About
opensesamerun is a simple tool that allows you to execute OpenSesame experiments with a minimal GUI, or directly, by specifying all necessary options via the command line. A minimal GUI will automatically appear if not all command line options have been specified, notably the experiment file, the subject number, and the log file.
Usage: opensesamerun [experiment] [options]
Options:
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
Subject and log file options:
-s SUBJECT, --subject=SUBJECT
Subject number
-l LOGFILE, --logfile=LOGFILE
Logfile
Display options:
-f, --fullscreen Run fullscreen
-c, --custom_resolution
Do not use the display resolution specified in the
experiment file
-w WIDTH, --width=WIDTH
Display width
-e HEIGHT, --height=HEIGHT
Display height
Miscellaneous options:
-d, --debug Print lots of debugging messages to the standard
output
--stack Print stack information
Miscellaneous options:
--pylink Load PyLink before PyGame (necessary for using the
Eyelink plug-ins in non-dummy mode)
Example
Let's say that you want to run the gaze cuing example experiment, for subject #1, and save the log file in your Documents folder (this example assumes Linux, but it works analogously on other platforms):
opensesamerun /usr/share/opensesame/examples/gaze_cuing.opensesame.tar.gz -s 1 -l /home/sebastiaan/Documents/subject1.tsv -f
Alternative libopensesame
You can also start experiments without using the GUI through the libopensesame Python module:
