To change various program options select Program options from the Settings tab.



This will display the Settings dialogue shown below:


There are three tabs:

    • General
    • Database
    • Windows position



General settings

Use test control window (two monitor systems)

The ReadEZ Screen software may be run on a single screen of dual screen PC. If a dual screen PC is used, the patient may view one screen and the screener can view a second screen with a control window.  This reduces distractions on the patient's screen. To select this option, tick the  Use test control window (two monitor systems) box.  If this option is not selected, the control bar is shown at the bottom of the test screen.


Enable Eye Tracking

If you have purchase the Tobii Eye Bar and wish to record eye movements, this option should be checked.


Database



The database panel specifies the location of the SQLite database file.  This will normally be set up during the installation process and does not need to be changed unless you wish to change the database location (to a shared drive for example).


A new (empty) database can be created by clicking on New and specifying the name and location of the database file.


Test Connection checks the connection to the specified database.


Data directory


This is used to specify the main program directory.  This will be configured during installation and should not be changed without the supervision of Thomson Software Solutions support.


Windows position



The ReadEZ Screening software uses three windows:


    • Admin screen: Main window showing database list and results
    • Test control screen: Window to control the test is using a dual screen PC.
    • Test screen: Window that the patient looks at during the test


The position of each of these three windows can be specified from the Windows position tab.


Single screen systems

For single screen systems a single monitor will be shown.


The Admin screen will be shown as the red rectangle and can be positioned anywhere on the screen.  The position of this window can be changed during testing.


The Test screen will be shown as a green rectangle and this should fill the entire screen.  The position and size of the Test screen can be automatically set by clicking on 1 in the combo box or by manually setting the Left, Top, Width and Height settings.

Dual screen systems

For dual screen systems, the Admin screen (red rectangle) and Test control screen (blue rectangle) may be positioned on one monitor and the Test screen on the other (as shown above).


This can be done automatically by clicking  on the screen number (1 or 2) in the combo box for each screen  or by manually setting the Left and  Top, settings.


The Test screen will be shown as a green rectangle and this should fill the entire screen.  The position and size of the Test screen can be automatically set by clicking   on the screen number (1 or 2) in the combo box or by manually setting the Left, Top, Width and Height settings.
